1.2 UR OVERVIEW
1 GETTING STARTED
1.2UR OVERVIEW
1.2.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE UR
Historically, substation protection, control, and metering functions were performed with electromechanical equipment. This
equipment was gradually replaced by analog equipment, most of which emulated the single-function approach of their electromechanical precursors. Both technologies required expensive cabling and auxiliary equipment to produce functioning
systems.
Recently, digital electronic equipment has begun to provide protection, control, and metering functions. Initially, this equipment was either single function or had very limited multifunction capability, and it did not significantly reduce the cabling and
auxiliary equipment required. However, recent digital relays are multifunctional, reducing cabling and auxiliaries significantly. These devices also transfer data to central control facilities and software using electronic communications. The
functions performed have become so broad that many users now prefer the term Intelligent Electronic Device (IED).
It is obvious to station designers that the amount of cabling and auxiliary equipment installed can be even further reduced,
to 20% to 70% of levels common in 1990, and achieve large cost reductions. This requires placing even more functions
within the IEDs.
Users of power equipment are also interested in reducing cost by improving power quality and personnel productivity, and
in increasing system reliability and efficiency. These objectives are realized through software that is used to perform functions at both the station and supervisory levels. The use of these systems is growing rapidly.
High-speed communication is required to meet the data transfer rates required by modern automatic control and monitoring
systems. Very high speed communications are required to perform protection signaling with a performance target response
time for a command signal between two IEDs, from transmission to reception, of less than 3 milliseconds. This has been
established by the IEC 61850 standard.
IEDs with such capabilities also provide significantly more power system data than was available, enhanced operations and
maintenance, and permit the use of adaptive system configuration for protection and control systems. This new generation
of equipment is easily incorporated into automation systems, at both the station and enterprise levels. The GE Multilin Universal Relay (UR) series meets these goals.
1.2.2 HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE
A) UR BASIC DESIGN
The UR is a digital-based device containing a central processing unit (CPU) that handles multiple types of input and output
signals. The UR device can communicate over a local area network (LAN) with an operator interface, a programming
device, or another UR device.
FIGURE 12: UR CONCEPT BLOCK DIAGRAM

The CPU module contains firmware that provides protection elements in the form of logic algorithms, as well as programmable logic gates, timers, and latches for control features.
1-2
GE Multilin
1 GETTING STARTED
1.2 UR OVERVIEW
Input elements accept a variety of analog or digital signals from the field. The UR isolates and converts these signals into
logic signals used by the relay.
Output elements convert and isolate the logic signals generated by the relay into digital or analog signals that can be used
to control field devices.
B) UR SIGNAL TYPES
The contact inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with connections to hard-wired contacts. Both wet and dry
contacts are supported.
The virtual inputs and outputs are digital signals associated with UR-series internal logic signals. Virtual inputs include
signals generated by the local user interface. The virtual outputs are outputs of FlexLogic equations used to customize
the device. Virtual outputs can also serve as virtual inputs to FlexLogic equations.
The analog inputs and outputs are signals that are associated with transducers, such as Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs).
The CT and VT inputs refer to analog current transformer and voltage transformer signals used to monitor AC power lines.
The UR-series relays support 1 A and 5 A CTs.
The remote inputs and outputs provide a means of sharing digital point state information between remote UR-series
devices. The remote outputs interface to the remote inputs of other UR-series devices. Remote outputs are FlexLogic operands inserted into IEC 61850 GSSE and GOOSE messages.
The direct inputs and outputs provide a means of sharing digital point states between a number of UR-series IEDs over a
dedicated fiber (single or multimode), RS422, or G.703 interface. No switching equipment is required as the IEDs are connected directly in a ring or redundant (dual) ring configuration. This feature is optimized for speed and intended for pilotaided schemes, distributed logic applications, or the extension of the input/output capabilities of a single relay chassis.
C) UR SCAN OPERATION
The UR-series devices operate in a cyclic scan fashion. The device reads the inputs into an input status table, solves the
logic program (FlexLogic equation), and then sets each output to the appropriate state in an output status table. Any resulting task execution is priority interrupt-driven.
FIGURE 13: UR-SERIES SCAN OPERATION

1.2.3 UR SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE
The firmware (software embedded in the relay) is designed in functional modules that can be installed in any relay as
required. This is achieved with object-oriented design and programming (OOD/OOP) techniques.
Object-oriented techniques involve the use of objects and classes. An object is defined as a logical entity that contains
both data and code that manipulates that data. A class is the generalized form of similar objects. By using this concept,
one can create a protection class with the protection elements as objects of the class, such as time overcurrent, instanta-
GE Multilin
1-3
1.2 UR OVERVIEW
1 GETTING STARTED
neous overcurrent, current differential, undervoltage, overvoltage, underfrequency, and distance. These objects represent
completely self-contained software modules. The same object-class concept can be used for metering, input/output control,
software interface, communications, or any functional entity in the system.
Employing OOD/OOP in the software architecture of the B30 achieves the same features as the hardware architecture:
modularity, scalability, and flexibility. The application software for any UR-series device (for example, feeder protection,
transformer protection, distance protection) is constructed by combining objects from the various functional classes. This
results in a common interface across the UR series.

FlexLogic equation editing is required for setting user-defined logic for customizing the relay operations. See the FlexLogic
section in Chapter 5.
1.5.7 COMMISSIONING
The B30 requires minimal maintenance after it is commissioned into service. Since the B30 is a microprocessor-based
relay, its characteristics do not change over time. As such, no further functional tests are required.
The B30 performs a number of continual self-tests and takes the necessary action in case of any major errors (see the
Relay Self-tests section in chapter 7). However, it is recommended that B30 maintenance be scheduled with other system
maintenance. This maintenance can involve in-service, out-of-service, or unscheduled maintenance.
In-service maintenance:
1.
Visual verification of the analog values integrity, such as voltage and current (in comparison to other devices on the
corresponding system).
2.
Visual verification of active alarms, relay display messages, and LED indications.
3.
LED test.
4.
Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, dust, or loose wires.
5.
Event recorder file download with further events analysis.
Out-of-service maintenance:
1.
Check wiring connections for firmness.
2.
Analog values (currents, voltages, RTDs, analog inputs) injection test and metering accuracy verification. Calibrated
test equipment is required.
3.
Protection elements setting verification (analog values injection or visual verification of setting file entries against relay
settings schedule).
4.
Contact inputs and outputs verification. This test can be conducted by direct change of state forcing or as part of the
system functional testing.
5.
Visual inspection for any damage, corrosion, or dust.
6.
Event recorder file download with further events analysis.

2.1 INTRODUCTION

2.1.1 OVERVIEW
The B30 Bus Differential System is a microprocessor-based relay that provides protection and metering for a busbar with
up to six feeders. Protection is provided by a low impedance percent differential element with features that make it immune
to CT saturation. Both biased (restrained) and unbiased (unrestrained) differential protection functions are provided.
A dynamic busbar replica mechanism is provided by associating the breaker and switch status signals with the differential
zone currents.
The biased bus differential function operates using both the differential and current directional comparison protection principles. The differential element uses a dual-slope dual-breakpoint characteristic with the restraining current formed as a maximum of the input currents for better stability during through-fault conditions and faster operation on internal faults. The
current directional comparison principle checks the angular relationship between the currents.
The biased bus differential protection operates in the two-out-of-two mode for low differential currents. This improves stability during CT saturation conditions caused by comparatively low currents combined with unfavorable phenomena such as
multiple auto-reclose actions. For high differential currents, the bus differential element operates using the differential characteristic alone if CT saturation is not detected. Upon CT saturation detection, the relay switches to the two-out-of-two
operating mode for better through fault stability.
The B30 typical operating time is about 12 ms for fast form-C output contacts and internal usage by user-programmable
logic, and about 15 ms for trip-rated form-A output contacts.
A CT failure alarm function that monitors the level of the differential current is provided. A situation when the differential current stays above a pre-defined level for a pre-defined period of time is declared as a CT trouble event, and an alarm is
raised. To prevent false tripping due to CT trouble, undervoltage supervision or an external check zone can be used.
Voltage and current metering is built into the relay as a standard feature. Current parameters are available as total waveform RMS magnitude, or as fundamental frequency only RMS magnitude and angle (phasor).
Diagnostic features include an event recorder capable of storing 1024 time-tagged events and oscillography capable of
storing up to 64 records with programmable trigger, content and sampling rate.The internal clock used for time-tagging can
be synchronized with an IRIG-B signal or via the SNTP protocol over the Ethernet port. This precise time stamping allows
the sequence of events to be determined throughout the system. Events can also be programmed (via FlexLogic equations) to trigger oscillography data capture that can be set to record the measured parameters before and after the event for
viewing on a computer. These tools significantly reduce troubleshooting time and simplify report generation in the event of
a system fault.
Several options are available for communication. All serial ports use the Modbus RTU protocol. A faceplate RS232 port can
be used to connect to a computer for the programming of settings and the monitoring of actual values. The RS232 port has
a fixed baud rate of 19.2 kbps. The rear RS485 port allows independent access by operating and engineering staff. It can
be connected to system computers with baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. The 100Base-FX Ethernet interface provides fast,
reliable communications in noisy environments. The Ethernet port supports IEC 61850, Modbus/TCP, TFTP protocols, PTP
(according to IEEE Std. 1588-2008 or IEC 61588), and allows access to the relay via any standard web browser (B30 web
pages). The IEC 60870-5-104 protocol is supported on the Ethernet port, and DNP 3.0 and IEC 60870-5-104 cannot be
enabled at the same time.
The B30 IEDs use flash memory technology that allows field upgrading as new features are added. The following Single
line diagram illustrates the relay functionality using American National Standards Institute (ANSI) device numbers.

2.1.2 ORDERING
a) OVERVIEW
The B30 is available as a 19-inch rack horizontal mount or reduced-size () vertical unit and consists of the following modules: power supply, CPU, CT/VT, digital input and output, transducer input and output, and inter-relay communications.
Each of these modules can be supplied in a number of configurations specified at the time of ordering. The information
required to completely specify the relay is provided in the following tables (see chapter 3 for full details of relay modules).
Order codes are subject to change without notice. See the GE Multilin ordering page at
http://www.gedigitalenergy.com/multilin/order.htm for the latest ordering options.
NOTE
The order code structure is dependent on the mounting option (horizontal or vertical) and the type of CT/VT modules (regular CT/VT modules or the HardFiberTM modules). The order code options are described in the following sub-sections.
b) ORDER CODES WITH TRADITIONAL CTS AND VTS
The order codes for the horizontal mount units with traditional CTs and VTs are shown below.

3.1.2 MODULE WITHDRAWAL AND INSERTION
Withdraw or insert a module only when control power has been removed from the unit, and be
sure to inserting only the correct module type into a slot, else personal injury, damage to the
unit or connected equipment, or undesired operation can result.
To avoid damage to the equipment, use proper electrostatic discharge protection (for example, a
static strap) when coming in contact with modules while the relay is energized.
The relay, being modular in design, allows for the withdrawal and insertion of modules. Modules must only be replaced with
like modules in their original factory configured slots.
The enhanced faceplate can be opened to the left, once the thumb screw has been removed, as shown below. This allows
for easy accessibility of the modules for withdrawal. The new wide-angle hinge assembly in the enhanced front panel opens
completely and allows easy access to all modules in the B30.
842812A1.CDR
Figure 38: UR MODULE WITHDRAWAL AND INSERTION (ENHANCED FACEPLATE)

The standard faceplate can be opened to the left, once the sliding latch on the right side has been pushed up, as shown
below. This allows for easy accessibility of the modules for withdrawal.
Figure 39: UR MODULE WITHDRAWAL AND INSERTION (STANDARD FACEPLATE)

To properly remove a module, the ejector/inserter clips, located at the top and bottom of each module, must be pulled
simultaneously. Before performing this action, control power must be removed from the relay. Record the original location of the module to ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted into the correct slot. Modules with current
input provide automatic shorting of external CT circuits.

3.1 DESCRIPTION
3 HARDWARE
To properly insert a module, ensure that the correct module type is inserted into the correct slot position. The ejector/
inserter clips located at the top and at the bottom of each module must be in the disengaged position as the module is
smoothly inserted into the slot. Once the clips have cleared the raised edge of the chassis, engage the clips simultaneously.
When the clips have locked into position, the module will be fully inserted.
CPU modules have 100Base-FX connectors. These connectors must be individually disconnected from the module
before it can be removed from the chassis.
NOTE
NOTE
The new CT/VT modules can only be used with new CPUs; similarly, old CT/VT modules can only be used with old
CPUs. In the event that there is a mismatch between the CPU and CT/VT module, the relay does not function and
a DSP ERROR or HARDWARE MISMATCH error displays.
3.1.3 REAR TERMINAL LAYOUT
Figure 310: REAR TERMINAL VIEW

Do not touch any rear terminals while the relay is energized!
The small form-factor pluggable ports (SFPs) are pluggable transceivers. Do not use non-validated
transceivers or install validated transceivers in the wrong Ethernet slot, else damage can occur.
The relay follows a convention with respect to terminal number assignments which are three characters long assigned in
order by module slot position, row number, and column letter. Two-slot wide modules take their slot designation from the
first slot position (nearest to CPU module) which is indicated by an arrow marker on the terminal block. See the following
figure for an example of rear terminal assignments.

Filter networks and transient protection clamps are used in the hardware to prevent damage caused
by high peak voltage transients, radio frequency interference (RFI), and electromagnetic interference
(EMI). These protective components can be damaged by application of the ANSI/IEEE C37.90 specified test voltage for a period longer than the specified one minute.
3.2.3 CONTROL POWER
Control power supplied to the relay must be connected to the matching power supply range of the
relay. If the voltage is applied to the wrong terminals, damage can occur.
The B30 relay, like almost all electronic relays, contains electrolytic capacitors. These capacitors are
well known to be subject to deterioration over time if voltage is not applied periodically. Deterioration
can be avoided by powering the relays up once a year.
The power supply module can be ordered for two possible voltage ranges, with or without a redundant power option. Each
range has a dedicated input connection for proper operation. The ranges are as shown below (see the Technical specifications section of chapter 2 for additional details):
Low (LO) range: 24 to 48 V (DC only) nominal.
High (HI) range: 125 to 250 V nominal.
The power supply module provides power to the relay and supplies power for dry contact input connections.
The power supply module provides 48 V DC power for dry contact input connections and a critical failure relay (see the
Typical wiring diagram earlier). The critical failure relay is a form-C device that is energized once control power is applied
and the relay has successfully booted up with no critical self-test failures. If on-going self-test diagnostic checks detect a
critical failure (see the Self-test errors section in chapter 7) or control power is lost, the relay is de-energize.
For high reliability systems, the B30 has a redundant option in which two B30 power supplies are placed in parallel on the
bus. If one of the power supplies become faulted, the second power supply assumes the full load of the relay without any
interruptions. Each power supply has a green LED on the front of the module to indicate it is functional. The critical fail relay
of the module also indicates a faulted power supply.
An LED on the front of the control power module shows the status of the power supply:

3.2.4 CT/VT MODULES
A CT/VT module can have voltage inputs on channels 1 through 4 inclusive, or channels 5 through 8 inclusive. Channels 1
and 5 are intended for connection to phase A, and are labeled as such in the relay. Likewise, channels 2 and 6 are intended
for connection to phase B, and channels 3 and 7 are intended for connection to phase C.
Channels 4 and 8 are intended for connection to a single-phase source. For voltage inputs, these channel are labelled as
auxiliary voltage (VX). For current inputs, these channels are intended for connection to a CT between system neutral and
ground, and are labelled as ground current (IG).
Verify that the connection made to the relay nominal current of 1 A or 5 A matches the secondary rating of the connected CTs. Unmatched CTs may result in equipment damage or inadequate protection.
CT/VT modules can be ordered with a standard ground current input that is the same as the phase current input. Each AC
current input has an isolating transformer and an automatic shorting mechanism that shorts the input when the module is
withdrawn from the chassis. There are no internal ground connections on the current inputs. Current transformers with 1 to
50000 A primaries and 1 A or 5 A secondaries may be used.
CT/VT modules with a sensitive ground input are also available. The ground CT input of the sensitive ground modules is
ten times more sensitive than the ground CT input of standard CT/VT modules. However, the phase CT inputs and phase
VT inputs are the same as those of regular CT/VT modules.
The above modules are available with enhanced diagnostics. These modules can automatically detect CT/VT hardware
failure and take the relay out of service.
CT connections for both ABC and ACB phase rotations are identical as shown in the Typical wiring diagram.
The exact placement of a zero-sequence core balance CT to detect ground fault current is shown below. Twisted-pair
cabling on the zero-sequence CT is recommended.

3.2.5 PROCESS BUS MODULES
The B30 can be ordered with a process bus interface module. This module is designed to interface with the GE Multilin
HardFiber system, allowing bidirectional IEC 61850 fiber optic communications with up to eight HardFiber merging units,
known as Bricks. The HardFiber system has been designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing UR-series applications, including protection functions, FlexLogic, metering, and communications.
The IEC 61850 process bus system offers the following benefits:
Reduces labor associated with design, installation, and testing of protection and control applications using the B30 by
reducing the number of individual copper terminations
Integrates seamlessly with existing B30 applications, since the IEC 61850 process bus interface module replaces the
traditional CT/VT modules
Communicates using open standard IEC 61850 messaging
For additional details on the HardFiber system, see GE publication GEK-113658: HardFiber Process Bus System Instruction Manual.
3.2.6 CONTACT INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Every contact input/output module has 24 terminal connections. They are arranged as three terminals per row, with eight
rows in total. A given row of three terminals can be used for the outputs of one relay. For example, for form-C relay outputs,
the terminals connect to the normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), and common contacts of the relay. For a form-A
output, there are options of using current or voltage detection for feature supervision, depending on the module ordered.
The terminal configuration for contact inputs is different for the two applications.
The contact inputs are grouped with a common return. The B30 has two versions of grouping: four inputs per common
return and two inputs per common return. When a contact input/output module is ordered, four inputs per common is used.
The four inputs per common allows for high-density inputs in combination with outputs, with a compromise of four inputs
sharing one common. If the inputs must be isolated per row, then two inputs per common return should be selected (4D
module).
The tables and diagrams on the following pages illustrate the module types (6A, etc.) and contact arrangements that can be
ordered for the relay. Since an entire row is used for a single contact output, the name is assigned using the module slot
position and row number. However, since there are two contact inputs per row, these names are assigned by module slot
position, row number, and column position.
Some form-A / solid-state relay outputs include circuits to monitor the DC voltage across the output contact when it is open,
and the DC current through the output contact when it is closed. Each of the monitors contains a level detector whose output is set to logic On = 1 when the current in the circuit is above the threshold setting. The voltage monitor is set to On =
1 when the current is above about 1 to 2.5 mA, and the current monitor is set to On = 1 when the current exceeds about
80 to 100 mA. The voltage monitor is intended to check the health of the overall trip circuit, and the current monitor can be
used to seal-in the output contact until an external contact has interrupted current flow.
Block diagrams are shown as follows for form-A and solid-state relay outputs with optional voltage monitor, optional current
monitor, and with no monitoring. The actual values shown for contact output 1 are the same for all contact outputs.

Figure 316: FORM-A AND SOLID-STATE CONTACT OUTPUTS WITH VOLTAGE AND CURRENT MONITORING
The operation of voltage and current monitors is reflected with the corresponding FlexLogic operands (CONT OP # VON,
CONT OP # VOFF, and CONT OP # ION) which can be used in protection, control, and alarm logic. The typical application of
the voltage monitor is breaker trip circuit integrity monitoring; a typical application of the current monitor is seal-in of the
control command.
Refer to the Digital elements section of chapter 5 for an example of how form-A and solid-state relay contacts can be
applied for breaker trip circuit integrity monitoring.
Consider relay contacts unsafe to touch when the unit is energized. If the relay contacts need
to be used for low voltage accessible applications, ensure proper insulation levels.
USE OF FORM-A AND SOLID-STATE RELAY OUTPUTS IN HIGH IMPEDANCE CIRCUITS
NOTE
For form-A and solid-state relay output contacts internally equipped with a voltage measuring circuit across the contact, the circuit has an impedance that can cause a problem when used in conjunction with external high input
impedance monitoring equipment such as modern relay test set trigger circuits. These monitoring circuits may continue to read the form-A contact as being closed after it has closed and subsequently opened, when measured as
an impedance.
The solution is to use the voltage measuring trigger input of the relay test set, and connect the form-A contact
through a voltage-dropping resistor to a DC voltage source. If the 48 V DC output of the power supply is used as a
source, a 500 , 10 W resistor is appropriate. In this configuration, the voltage across either the form-A contact or
the resistor can be used to monitor the state of the output.
Wherever a tilde ~ symbol appears, substitute with the slot position of the module; wherever a number sign #
appears, substitute the contact number
NOTE
When current monitoring is used to seal-in the form-A and solid-state relay contact outputs, the FlexLogic operand driving the contact output should be given a reset delay of 10 ms to prevent damage
of the output contact (in situations when the element initiating the contact output is bouncing, at values in the region of the pickup value).

CONTACT INPUTS
A dry contact has one side connected to terminal B3b. This is the positive 48 V DC voltage rail supplied by the power supply module. The other side of the dry contact is connected to the required contact input terminal. Each contact input group
has its own common (negative) terminal which must be connected to the DC negative terminal (B3a) of the power supply
module. When a dry contact closes, a current of 1 to 3 mA flows through the associated circuit.
A wet contact has one side connected to the positive terminal of an external DC power supply. The other side of this contact
is connected to the required contact input terminal. If a wet contact is used, then the negative side of the external source
must be connected to the relay common (negative) terminal of each contact group. The maximum external source voltage
for this arrangement is 300 V DC.
The voltage threshold at which each group of four contact inputs detects a closed contact input is programmable as
17 V DC for 24 V sources, 33 V DC for 48 V sources, 84 V DC for 110 to 125 V sources, and 166 V DC for 250 V sources.
Figure 319: DRY AND WET CONTACT INPUT CONNECTIONS

Wherever a tilde ~ symbol appears, substitute with the slot position of the module.
NOTE
Contact outputs can be ordered as form-A or form-C. The form-A contacts can be connected for external circuit supervision. These contacts are provided with voltage and current monitoring circuits used to detect the loss of DC voltage in the
circuit, and the presence of DC current flowing through the contacts when the form-A contact closes. If enabled, the current
monitoring can be used as a seal-in signal to ensure that the form-A contact does not attempt to break the energized inductive coil circuit and weld the output contacts.
There is no provision in the relay to detect a DC ground fault on 48 V DC control power external output. We recommend using an external DC supply.

USE OF CONTACT INPUTS WITH AUTO-BURNISHING

The contact inputs sense a change of the state of the external device contact based on the measured current. When external devices are located in a harsh industrial environment (either outdoor or indoor), their contacts can be exposed to various types of contamination. Normally, there is a thin film of insulating sulfidation, oxidation, or contaminates on the surface
of the contacts, sometimes making it difficult or impossible to detect a change of the state. This film must be removed to
establish circuit continuity an impulse of higher than normal current can accomplish this.
The contact inputs with auto-burnish create a high current impulse when the threshold is reached to burn off this oxidation
layer as a maintenance to the contacts. Afterwards the contact input current is reduced to a steady-state current. The
impulse has a 5 second delay after a contact input changes state.

842749A1.CDR
Figure 320: CURRENT THROUGH CONTACT INPUTS WITH AUTO-BURNISHING

Regular contact inputs limit current to less than 3 mA to reduce station battery burden. In contrast, contact inputs with autoburnishing allow currents up to 50 to 70 mA at the first instance when the change of state was sensed. Then, within 25 to
50 ms, this current is slowly reduced to 3 mA as indicated above. The 50 to 70 mA peak current burns any film on the contacts, allowing for proper sensing of state changes. If the external device contact is bouncing, the auto-burnishing starts
when external device contact bouncing is over.
Another important difference between the auto-burnishing input module and the regular input modules is that only two contact inputs have common ground, as opposed to four contact inputs sharing one common ground (refer to the Contact Input
and Output Module Wiring diagrams). This is beneficial when connecting contact inputs to separate voltage sources. Consequently, the threshold voltage setting is also defined per group of two contact inputs.
The auto-burnish feature can be disabled or enabled using the DIP switches found on each daughter card. There is a DIP
switch for each contact, for a total of 16 inputs.
CONTACT INPUT 1 AUTO-BURNISH = OFF
CONTACT INPUT 1 AUTO-BURNISH = ON

3.2.7 TRANSDUCER INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
Transducer input modules can receive input signals from external dcmA output transducers (dcmA In) or resistance temperature detectors (RTD). Hardware and software is provided to receive signals from these external transducers and convert these signals into a digital format for use as required.
Transducer output modules provide DC current outputs in several standard dcmA ranges. Software is provided to configure
virtually any analog quantity used in the relay to drive the analog outputs.
Every transducer input/output module has a total of 24 terminal connections. These connections are arranged as three terminals per row with a total of eight rows. A given row can be used for either inputs or outputs, with terminals in column "a"
having positive polarity and terminals in column "c" having negative polarity. Since an entire row is used for a single input/
output channel, the name of the channel is assigned using the module slot position and row number.
Each module also requires that a connection from an external ground bus be made to terminal 8b. The current outputs
require a twisted-pair shielded cable, where the shield is grounded at one end only. The figure below illustrates the transducer module types (5A, 5C, 5D, 5E, and 5F) and channel arrangements that can be ordered for the relay.
Wherever a tilde ~ symbol appears, substitute with the slot position of the module.

A 9-pin RS232C serial port is located on the B30 faceplate for programming with a computer. All that is required to use this
interface is a computer running the EnerVista UR Setup software provided with the relay. Cabling for the RS232 port is
shown in the following figure for both 9-pin and 25-pin connectors.
The baud rate for this port is fixed at 19200 bps.

In addition to the faceplate RS232 port, the B30 provides a rear RS485 communication port.

b) RS485 PORTS
RS485 data transmission and reception are accomplished over a single twisted pair with transmit and receive data alternating over the same two wires. Through the use of the port, continuous monitoring and control from a remote computer,
SCADA system, or PLC is possible.
GE Multilin
3-23
3.2 WIRING
3 HARDWARE
To minimize errors from noise, the use of shielded twisted pair wire is recommended. Correct polarity must also be
observed. For instance, the relays must be connected with all RS485 + terminals connected together, and all RS485
terminals connected together. Though data is transmitted over a two-wire twisted pair, all RS485 devices require a shared
reference, or common voltage. This common voltage is implied to be a power supply common. Some systems allow the
shield (drain wire) to be used as common wire and to connect directly to the B30 COM terminal (#3); others function correctly only if the common wire is connected to the B30 COM terminal, but insulated from the shield.
To avoid loop currents, ground the shield at only one point. If other system considerations require the shield to be grounded
at more than one point, install resistors (typically 100 ohms) between the shield and ground at each grounding point. Each
relay needs to be daisy-chained to the next one in the link. A maximum of 32 relays can be connected in this manner without exceeding driver capability. For larger systems, additional serial channels must be added. It is also possible to use commercially available repeaters to have more than 32 relays on a single channel. Avoid star or stub connections entirely.
Lightning strikes and ground surge currents can cause large momentary voltage differences between remote ends of the
communication link. For this reason, surge protection devices are internally provided at both communication ports. An isolated power supply with an optocoupled data interface also acts to reduce noise coupling. To ensure maximum reliability, all
equipment should have similar transient protection devices installed.
Terminate both ends of the RS485 circuit with an impedance as shown below.

Ensure that the dust covers are installed when the fiber is not in use. Dirty or scratched connectors can lead to high

NOTE
Observing any fiber transmitter output can injure the eye.
The fiber optic communication ports allow for fast and efficient communications between relays at 100 Mbps. Optical fiber
can be connected to the relay supporting a wavelength of 1310 nm in multi-mode.
The fiber optic port is designed such that the response times do not vary for any core that is 100 m or less in diameter,
62.5 m for 100 Mbps. For optical power budgeting, splices are required every 1 km for the transmitter/receiver pair. When
splicing optical fibers, the diameter and numerical aperture of each fiber must be the same.

satellite system to obtain the time reference so that devices at different geographic locations can be synchronized.

3.3DIRECT INPUT AND OUTPUT COMMUNICATIONS
3.3.1 DESCRIPTION
The B30 direct inputs and outputs feature makes use of the type 7 series of communications modules, which allow direct
messaging between devices.
The communications channels are normally connected in a ring configuration as shown in the following figure. The transmitter of one module is connected to the receiver of the next module. The transmitter of this second module is then connected to the receiver of the next module in the ring. This is continued to form a communications ring. The figure illustrates
a ring of four UR-series relays with the following connections: UR1-Tx to UR2-Rx, UR2-Tx to UR3-Rx, UR3-Tx to UR4-Rx,
and UR4-Tx to UR1-Rx. A maximum of sixteen (16) UR-series relays can be connected in a single ring
Figure 327: DIRECT INPUT AND OUTPUT SINGLE CHANNEL CONNECTION

The interconnection for dual-channel Type 7 communications modules is shown as follows. Two channel modules allow for
a redundant ring configuration. That is, two rings can be created to provide an additional independent data path. The
required connections are: UR1-Tx1 to UR2-Rx1, UR2-Tx1 to UR3-Rx1, UR3-Tx1 to UR4-Rx1, and UR4-Tx1 to UR1-Rx1
for the first ring; and UR1-Tx2 to UR4-Rx2, UR4-Tx2 to UR3-Rx2, UR3-Tx2 to UR2-Rx2, and UR2-Tx2 to UR1-Rx2 for the
second ring.
Figure 328: DIRECT INPUT AND OUTPUT DUAL CHANNEL CONNECTION

The following diagram shows the connection for three UR-series relays using two independent communication channels.
UR1 and UR3 have single type 7 communication modules; UR2 has a dual-channel module. The two communication channels can be of different types, depending on the Type 7 modules used. To allow the direct input and output data to crossover from channel 1 to channel 2 on UR2, the DIRECT I/O CHANNEL CROSSOVER setting should be Enabled on UR2. This
forces UR2 to forward messages received on Rx1 out Tx2, and messages received on Rx2 out Tx1.

The following figure shows the 64K ITU G.703 co-directional interface configuration.
The G.703 module is fixed at 64 kbps. The SETTINGS > PRODUCT SETUP > DIRECT I/O > DIRECT I/O DATA
RATE setting is not applicable to this module.
NOTE
AWG 24 twisted shielded pair is recommended for external connections, with the shield grounded only at one end. Connecting the shield to pin X1a or X6a grounds the shield since these pins are internally connected to ground. Thus, if pin X1a
or X6a is used, do not ground at the other end. This interface module is protected by surge suppression devices.
Figure 332: G.703 INTERFACE CONFIGURATION

The following figure shows the typical pin interconnection between two G.703 interfaces. For the actual physical arrangement of these pins, see the Rear terminal assignments section earlier in this chapter. All pin interconnections are to be
maintained for a connection to a multiplexer.
Figure 333: TYPICAL PIN INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN TWO G.703 INTERFACES
NOTE
Pin nomenclature can differ from one manufacturer to another. Therefore, it is not uncommon to see pinouts numbered TxA, TxB, RxA and RxB. In such cases, it can be assumed that A is equivalent to + and B is equivalent
to .
b) G.703 SELECTION SWITCH PROCEDURES

1.
With the power to the relay off, remove the G.703 module (7R or 7S) as follows. Record the original location of the
module to help ensure that the same or replacement module is inserted into the correct slot.
2.

c) G.703 OCTET TIMING

If octet timing is enabled (ON), this 8 kHz signal is asserted during the violation of bit 8 (LSB) necessary for connecting to
higher order systems. When B30s are connected back-to-back, octet timing is disabled (OFF).
d) G.703 TIMING MODES
There are two timing modes for the G.703 module: internal timing mode and loop timing mode (default).
Internal Timing Mode: The system clock is generated internally. Therefore, the G.703 timing selection should be in
the internal timing mode for back-to-back (UR-to-UR) connections. For back-to-back connections, set for octet timing
(S1 = OFF) and timing mode to internal timing (S5 = ON and S6 = OFF).
Loop Timing Mode: The system clock is derived from the received line signal. Therefore, the G.703 timing selection
should be in loop timing mode for connections to higher order systems. For connection to a higher order system (URto-multiplexer, factory defaults), set to octet timing (S1 = ON) and set timing mode to loop timing (S5 = OFF and S6 =
OFF).

e) G.703 TEST MODES

In minimum remote loopback mode, the multiplexer is enabled to return the data from the external interface without any
processing to assist in diagnosing G.703 line-side problems irrespective of clock rate. Data enters from the G.703 inputs,
passes through the data stabilization latch which also restores the proper signal polarity, passes through the multiplexer
and then returns to the transmitter. The differential received data is processed and passed to the G.703 transmitter module
after which point the data is discarded. The G.703 receiver module is fully functional and continues to process data and
passes it to the differential Manchester transmitter module. Since timing is returned as it is received, the timing source is
expected to be from the G.703 line side of the interface.

Figure 335: G.703 MINIMUM REMOTE LOOPBACK MODE

In dual loopback mode, the multiplexers are active and the functions of the circuit are divided into two with each receiver/
transmitter pair linked together to deconstruct and then reconstruct their respective signals. Differential Manchester data
enters the Differential Manchester receiver module and then is returned to the differential Manchester transmitter module.
Likewise, G.703 data enters the G.703 receiver module and is passed through to the G.703 transmitter module to be
returned as G.703 data. Because of the complete split in the communications path and because, in each case, the clocks
are extracted and reconstructed with the outgoing data, in this mode there must be two independent sources of timing. One
source lies on the G.703 line side of the interface while the other lies on the differential Manchester side of the interface.

3.3.5 RS422 INTERFACE
a) DESCRIPTION
There are two RS422 inter-relay communications modules available: single-channel RS422 (module 7T) and dual-channel
RS422 (module 7W). The modules can be configured to run at 64 kbps or 128 kbps. AWG 20-24 twisted shielded pair cable
is recommended for external connections. These modules are protected by optically-isolated surge suppression devices.
The shield pins (6a and 7b) are internally connected to the ground pin (8a). Proper shield termination is as follows:
Site 1: Terminate shield to pins 6a or 7b or both.
Site 2: Terminate shield to COM pin 2b.
Match the clock terminating impedance with the impedance of the line.

Figure 337: RS422 INTERFACE CONNECTIONS

The following figure shows the typical pin interconnection between two single-channel RS422 interfaces installed in slot W.
All pin interconnections are to be maintained for a connection to a multiplexer.
Figure 338: TYPICAL PIN INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN TWO RS422 INTERFACES

b) TWO-CHANNEL APPLICATION VIA MULTIPLEXERS
The RS422 interface can be used for single channel or two channel applications over SONET/SDH or multiplexed systems.
When used in single-channel applications, the RS422 interface links to higher order systems in a typical fashion observing
transmit (Tx), receive (Rx), and send timing (ST) connections. However, when used in two-channel applications, certain criteria must be followed since there is one clock input for the two RS422 channels. The system functions correctly when the
following connections are observed and your data module has a terminal timing feature. Terminal timing is a common feature to most synchronous data units that allows the module to accept timing from an external source. Using the terminal
timing feature, two channel applications can be achieved if these connections are followed: The send timing outputs from
the multiplexer (data module 1), connects to the clock inputs of the URRS422 interface in the usual fashion. In addition,
the send timing outputs of data module 1 is also paralleled to the terminal timing inputs of data module 2. By using this configuration, the timing for both data modules and both URRS422 channels are derived from a single clock source. As a
result, data sampling for both of the URRS422 channels is synchronized via the send timing leads on data module 1 as
shown below. If the terminal timing feature is not available or this type of connection is not desired, the G.703 interface is a
viable option that does not impose timing restrictions.

Figure 339: TIMING CONFIGURATION FOR RS422 TWO-CHANNEL, 3-TERMINAL APPLICATION

Data module 1 provides timing to the B30 RS422 interface via the ST(A) and ST(B) outputs. Data module 1 also provides
timing to data module 2 TT(A) and TT(B) inputs via the ST(A) and AT(B) outputs. The data module pin numbers have been
omitted in the figure above since they vary by manufacturer.
c) TRANSMIT TIMING
The RS422 interface accepts one clock input for transmit timing. It is important that the rising edge of the 64 kHz transmit
timing clock of the multiplexer interface is sampling the data in the center of the transmit data window. Therefore, it is important to confirm clock and data transitions to ensure proper system operation. For example, the following figure shows the
positive edge of the Tx clock in the center of the Tx data bit.
Tx Clock
Tx Data
Figure 340: CLOCK AND DATA TRANSITIONS

d) RECEIVE TIMING
The RS422 interface utilizes NRZI-MARK modulation code and; therefore, does not rely on an Rx clock to recapture data.
NRZI-MARK is an edge-type, invertible, self-clocking code.
3-34
GE Multilin
3 HARDWARE
To recover the Rx clock from the data-stream, an integrated DPLL (digital phase lock loop) circuit is utilized. The DPLL is
driven by an internal clock, which is 16-times over-sampled, and uses this clock along with the data-stream to generate a
data clock that can be used as the SCC (serial communication controller) receive clock.
3.3.6 RS422 AND FIBER INTERFACE
The following figure shows the combined RS422 plus fiberoptic interface configuration at 64K baud. The 7L, 7M, 7N, 7P,
and 74 modules are used in two-terminal with a redundant channel or three-terminal configurations where channel 1 is
employed via the RS422 interface (possibly with a multiplexer) and channel 2 via direct fiber.
AWG 20-24 twisted shielded pair is recommended for external RS422 connections and ground the shield only at one end.
For the direct fiber channel, address power budget issues properly.
When using a LASER Interface, attenuators can be necessary to ensure that you do not exceed

3.3.8 IEEE C37.94 INTERFACE
The UR-series IEEE C37.94 communication modules (modules types 2G, 2H, 76, and 77) are designed to interface with
IEEE C37.94 compliant digital multiplexers or an IEEE C37.94 compliant interface converter for use with direct input and
output applications. The IEEE C37.94 standard defines a point-to-point optical link for synchronous data between a multiplexer and a teleprotection device. This data is typically 64 kbps, but the standard provides for speeds up to 64n kbps,
where n = 1, 2,, 12. The UR-series C37.94 communication modules are either 64 kbps (with n fixed at 1) for 128 kbps
(with n fixed at 2). The frame is a valid International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) recommended G.704 pattern from
the standpoint of framing and data rate. The frame is 256 bits and is repeated at a frame rate of 8000 Hz, with a resultant bit
rate of 2048 kbps.
The specifications for the module are as follows:.
IEEE standard: C37.94 for 1 128 kbps optical fiber interface (for 2G and 2H modules) or C37.94 for 2 64 kbps optical fiber interface (for 76 and 77 modules)
Fiber optic cable type: 50 mm or 62.5 mm core diameter optical fiber
Fiber optic mode: multi-mode
Fiber optic cable length: up to 2 km
Fiber optic connector: type ST
Wavelength: 830 40 nm
Connection: as per all fiber optic connections, a Tx to Rx connection is required
The UR-series C37.94 communication module can be connected directly to any compliant digital multiplexer that supports
the IEEE C37.94 standard as shown below.
The UR-series C37.94 communication module can be connected to the electrical interface (G.703, RS422, or X.21) of a
non-compliant digital multiplexer via an optical-to-electrical interface converter that supports the IEEE C37.94 standard, as
shown below.
The UR-series C37.94 communication module has six (6) switches that are used to set the clock configuration. The functions of these control switches are shown below.

For the looped timing mode, the system clock is derived from the received line signal. Therefore, the timing selection
should be in loop timing mode for connections to higher order systems.
The IEEE C37.94 communications module cover removal procedure is as follows:
1.
With power to the relay off, remove the IEEE C37.94 module (type 2G, 2H, 76 or 77 module) as follows. Record the

3.3.9 C37.94SM INTERFACE
The UR-series C37.94SM communication modules (2A and 2B) are designed to interface with modified IEEE C37.94 compliant digital multiplexers or IEEE C37.94 compliant interface converters that have been converted from 820 nm multi-mode
fiber optics to 1300 nm ELED single-mode fiber optics. The IEEE C37.94 standard defines a point-to-point optical link for
synchronous data between a multiplexer and a teleprotection device. This data is typically 64 kbps, but the standard provides for speeds up to 64n kbps, where n = 1, 2,, 12. The UR-series C37.94SM communication module is 64 kbps only
with n fixed at 1. The frame is a valid International Telecommunications Union (ITU-T) recommended G.704 pattern from
the standpoint of framing and data rate. The frame is 256 bits and is repeated at a frame rate of 8000 Hz, with a resultant bit
rate of 2048 kbps.
The specifications for the module are as follows:
Emulated IEEE standard: emulates C37.94 for 1 64 kbps optical fiber interface (modules set to n = 1 or 64 kbps)
Fiber optic cable type: 9/125 m core diameter optical fiber

4.1.1 INTRODUCTION
The EnerVista UR Setup software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) as one of two human interfaces to a UR device.
The alternate human interface is implemented via the devices faceplate keypad and display (see the Faceplate interface
section in this chapter).
The EnerVista UR Setup software provides a single facility to configure, monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot the operation
of relay functions, connected over local or wide area communication networks. It can be used while disconnected (offline)
or connected (online) to a UR device. In offline mode, settings files can be created for eventual downloading to the device.
In online mode, you can communicate with the device in real-time.
The EnerVista UR Setup software, provided with every B30 relay, can be run from any computer supporting Microsoft Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, and XP. This chapter provides a summary of the basic EnerVista UR Setup software interface
features. The EnerVista UR Setup Help File provides details for getting started and using the EnerVista UR Setup software
interface.
4.1.2 CREATING A SITE LIST
To start using the EnerVista UR Setup software, site and device definition are required. See the EnerVista UR Setup Help
File or refer to the Connecting EnerVista UR Setup with the B30 section in Chapter 1 for details.
4.1.3 ENERVISTA UR SETUP OVERVIEW
a) ENGAGING A DEVICE
The EnerVista UR Setup software can be used in online mode (relay connected) to directly communicate with the B30
relay. Communicating relays are organized and grouped by communication interfaces and into sites. Sites can contain any
number of relays selected from the UR-series of relays.
b) USING SETTINGS FILES
The EnerVista UR Setup software interface supports three ways of handling changes to relay settings:
In offline mode (relay disconnected) to create or edit relay settings files for later download to communicating relays
While connected to a communicating relay to directly modify any relay settings via relay data view windows, and then
save the settings to the relay
You can create/edit settings files and then write them to the relay while the interface is connected to the relay
Settings files are organized on the basis of file names assigned by the user. A settings file contains data pertaining to the
following types of relay settings:
Device definition
Product setup
System setup
FlexLogic
Grouped elements
Control elements
Inputs/outputs
Testing
Factory default values are supplied and can be restored after any changes.
The following communications settings are not transferred to the B30 with settings files.

When a settings file is loaded to a B30 that is in-service, the following sequence occurs:
1.
The B30 takes itself out of service.
2.
The B30 issues a UNIT NOT PROGRAMMED major self-test error.
3.
The B30 closes the critical fail contact.
c) CREATING AND EDITING FLEXLOGIC
You create or edit a FlexLogic equation in order to customize the relay. You can subsequently view the automatically generated logic diagram.
d) VIEWING ACTUAL VALUES
You can view real-time relay data such as input/output status and measured parameters.
e) VIEWING TRIGGERED EVENTS
While the interface is in either online or offline mode, you can view and analyze data generated by triggered specified
parameters, via one of the following:
Event recorder
The event recorder captures contextual data associated with the last 1024 events, listed in chronological order from
most recent to oldest.
Oscillography
The oscillography waveform traces and digital states are used to provide a visual display of power system and relay
operation data captured during specific triggered events.
f) FILE SUPPORT
Execution: Any EnerVista UR Setup file that is opened launches the application or provides focus to the already
opened application. If the file was a settings file (has a URS extension) that had been removed from the Settings List
tree menu, it is added back to the Settings List tree menu.
Drag and Drop: The Site List and Settings List control bar windows are each mutually a drag source and a drop target
for device-order-code-compatible files or individual menu items. Also, the Settings List control bar window and any
Windows Explorer directory folder are each mutually a file drag source and drop target.
New files that are dropped into the Settings List window are added to the tree, which is automatically sorted alphabetically with respect to settings file names. Files or individual menu items that are dropped in the selected device menu in
the Site List window are automatically sent to the online communicating device.
g) FIRMWARE UPGRADES
The firmware of a B30 device can be upgraded, locally or remotely, via the EnerVista UR Setup software. The corresponding instructions are provided by the EnerVista UR Setup Help file under the topic Upgrading Firmware.

NOTE
Modbus addresses assigned to firmware modules, features, settings, and corresponding data items (that is, default
values, minimum/maximum values, data type, and item size) can change slightly from version to version of firmware. The addresses are rearranged when new features are added or existing features are enhanced or modified.
The EEPROM DATA ERROR message displayed after upgrading/downgrading the firmware is a resettable, self-test
message intended to inform users that the Modbus addresses have changed with the upgraded firmware. This
message does not signal any problems when appearing after firmware upgrades.

4 HUMAN INTERFACES
4.2.1 SETTINGS TEMPLATES
Setting file templates simplify the configuration and commissioning of multiple relays that protect similar assets. An example of this is a substation that has ten similar feeders protected by ten UR-series F60 relays.
In these situations, typically 90% or greater of the settings are identical between all devices. The templates feature allows
engineers to configure and test these common settings, then lock them so that they are not available to users. For example, these locked down settings can be hidden from view for field engineers, allowing them to quickly identify and concentrate on the specific settings.
The remaining settings (typically 10% or less) can be specified as editable and be made available to field engineers installing the devices. These are settings such as protection element pickup values and CT and VT ratios.
The settings template mode allows the user to define which settings are visible in EnerVista UR Setup. Settings templates
can be applied to both settings files (settings file templates) and online devices (online settings templates). The functionality
is identical for both purposes.
a) ENABLING THE SETTINGS TEMPLATE
The settings file template feature is disabled by default. The following procedure describes how to enable the settings template for UR-series settings files.
1.
Select a settings file from the offline window of the EnerVista UR Setup main screen.
2.
Right-click the selected device or settings file and select the Template Mode > Create Template option.
The settings file template is now enabled and the file tree displayed in light blue. The settings file is now in template editing
mode.
Alternatively, the settings template can also be applied to online settings. The following procedure describes this process.
1.
Select an installed device from the online window of the EnerVista UR Setup main screen.
2.
Right-click the selected device and select the Template Mode > Create Template option.
The software prompts for a template password. This password is required to use the template feature and must be at
least four characters in length.
3.
Enter and re-enter the new password, then click OK to continue.
The online settings template is now enabled. The device is now in template editing mode.
b) EDITING THE SETTINGS TEMPLATE
The settings template editing feature allows the user to specify which settings are available for viewing and modification in
EnerVista UR Setup. By default, all settings except the FlexLogic equation editor settings are locked.
1.
Select an installed device or a settings file from the tree menu on the left of the EnerVista UR Setup main screen.
2.
Select the Template Mode > Edit Template option to place the device in template editing mode.
3.
Enter the template password then click OK.
4.
Open the relevant settings windows that contain settings to be specified as viewable.

number.
4.2.3 SETTINGS FILE TRACEABILITY
A traceability feature for settings files allows the user to quickly determine if the settings in a B30 device have been
changed since the time of installation from a settings file. When a settings file is transferred to a B30 device, the date, time,
and serial number of the B30 are sent back to EnerVista UR Setup and added to the settings file on the local PC. This information can be compared with the B30 actual values at any later date to determine if security has been compromised.
The traceability information is only included in the settings file if a complete settings file is either transferred to the B30
device or obtained from the B30 device. Any partial settings transfers by way of drag and drop do not add the traceability
information to the settings file.
Figure 411: SETTINGS FILE TRACEABILITY MECHANISM

With respect to the above diagram, the traceability feature is used as follows.
4-10
GE Multilin
4 HUMAN INTERFACES
1.
The transfer date of a setting file written to a B30 is logged in the relay and can be viewed via EnerVista UR Setup or
the front panel display. Likewise, the transfer date of a setting file saved to a local PC is logged in EnerVista UR Setup.
2.
Comparing the dates stored in the relay and on the settings file at any time in the future indicates if any changes have
been made to the relay configuration since the settings file was saved.
a) SETTINGS FILE TRACEABILITY INFORMATION

The serial number and file transfer date are saved in the settings files when they are sent to an B30 device.
The B30 serial number and file transfer date are included in the settings file device definition within the EnerVista UR Setup
offline window as shown in the example below.

c) ADDITIONAL TRACEABILITY RULES

The following additional rules apply for the traceability feature
If the user changes any settings within the settings file in the offline window, then the traceability information is
removed from the settings file.
If the user creates a new settings file, then no traceability information is included in the settings file.
If the user converts an existing settings file to another revision, then any existing traceability information is removed
from the settings file.
If the user duplicates an existing settings file, then any traceability information is transferred to the duplicate settings
file.

4.3.2 LED INDICATORS
The enhanced front panel display provides five columns of LED indicators. The first column contains 14 status and event
cause LEDs, and the next four columns contain the 48 user-programmable LEDs.
The RESET key is used to reset any latched LED indicator or target message, once the condition has been cleared (these
latched conditions can also be reset via the SETTINGS INPUT/OUTPUTS RESETTING menu). The RS232 port is
intended for connection to a portable PC.
The USER keys are not used in this unit.
842811A1.CDR
Figure 418: TYPICAL LED INDICATOR PANEL FOR ENHANCED FACEPLATE

The status indicators in the first column are described below.
IN SERVICE: This LED indicates that control power is applied, all monitored inputs, outputs, and internal systems are
OK, and that the device has been programmed.
4-14
GE Multilin
4 HUMAN INTERFACES
TROUBLE: This LED indicates that the relay has detected an internal problem.
TEST MODE: This LED indicates that the relay is in test mode.
TRIP: This LED indicates that the FlexLogic operand serving as a trip switch has operated. This indicator always
latches; as such, a reset command must be initiated to allow the latch to be reset.
ALARM: This LED indicates that the FlexLogic operand serving as an alarm switch has operated. This indicator is
never latched.
PICKUP: This LED indicates that an element is picked up. This indicator is never latched.
The event cause indicators in the first column are described below.
Events cause LEDs are turned on or off by protection elements that have their respective target setting selected as either
Enabled or Latched. If a protection element target setting is Enabled, then the corresponding event cause LEDs
remain on as long as operate operand associated with the element remains asserted. If a protection element target setting
is Latched, then the corresponding event cause LEDs turn on when the operate operand associated with the element is
asserted and remain on until the RESET button on the front panel is pressed after the operand is reset.
All elements that are able to discriminate faulted phases can independently turn off or on the phase A, B or C LEDs. This
includes phase instantaneous overcurrent, phase undervoltage, etc. This means that the phase A, B, and C operate operands for individual protection elements are ORed to turn on or off the phase A, B or C LEDs.
VOLTAGE: This LED indicates voltage was involved.
CURRENT: This LED indicates current was involved.
FREQUENCY: This LED indicates frequency was involved.
OTHER: This LED indicates a composite function was involved.
PHASE A: This LED indicates phase A was involved.
PHASE B: This LED indicates phase B was involved.
PHASE C: This LED indicates phase C was involved.
NEUTRAL/GROUND: This LED indicates that neutral or ground was involved.
The user-programmable LEDs consist of 48 amber LED indicators in four columns. The operation of these LEDs is userdefined. Support for applying a customized label beside every LED is provided. Default labels are shipped in the label package of every B30, together with custom templates. The default labels can be replaced by user-printed labels.
User customization of LED operation is of maximum benefit in installations where languages other than English are used to
communicate with operators. Refer to the User-programmable LEDs section in chapter 5 for the settings used to program
the operation of the LEDs on these panels.
The standard faceplate consists of three panels with LED indicators, keys, and a communications port. The RESET key is
used to reset any latched LED indicator or target message, once the condition has been cleared (these latched conditions
can also be reset via the SETTINGS INPUT/OUTPUTS RESETTING menu). The RS232 port is for connection to a computer.

4.3.6 BREAKER CONTROL
a) INTRODUCTION
The B30 can interface with associated circuit breakers. In many cases the application monitors the state of the breaker, that
can be presented on faceplate LEDs, along with a breaker trouble indication. Breaker operations can be manually initiated
from faceplate keypad or automatically initiated from a FlexLogic operand. A setting is provided to assign names to each
breaker; this user-assigned name is used for the display of related flash messages. These features are provided for two
breakers; the user can use only those portions of the design relevant to a single breaker, which must be breaker 1.
For the following discussion it is assumed the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP BREAKERS BREAKER 1(2) BREAKER
setting is "Enabled" for each breaker.
FUNCTION
b) CONTROL MODE SELECTION AND MONITORING

Installations can require that a breaker is operated in the three-pole only mode (3-pole), or in the one and three-pole (1pole) mode, selected by setting. If the mode is selected as three-pole, a single input tracks the breaker open or closed position. If the mode is selected as one-pole, all three breaker pole states must be input to the relay. These inputs must be in
agreement to indicate the position of the breaker.
For the following discussion it is assumed the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP BREAKERS BREAKER 1(2) BREAKER
1(2) PUSH BUTTON CONTROL setting is Enabled for each breaker.

5.1.2 INTRODUCTION TO ELEMENTS
In the design of UR relays, the term element is used to describe a feature that is based around a comparator. The comparator is provided with an input (or set of inputs) that is tested against a programmed setting (or group of settings) to determine if the input is within the defined range that will set the output to logic 1, also referred to as setting the flag. A single
comparator may make multiple tests and provide multiple outputs; for example, the time overcurrent comparator sets a
pickup flag when the current input is above the setting and sets an operate flag when the input current has been at a level
above the pickup setting for the time specified by the time-current curve settings. All comparators use analog parameter
actual values as the input.
The exception to the above rule are the digital elements, which use logic states as inputs.
NOTE
Elements are arranged into two classes, grouped and control. Each element classed as a grouped element is provided with
six alternate sets of settings, in setting groups numbered 1 through 6. The performance of a grouped element is defined by
the setting group that is active at a given time. The performance of a control element is independent of the selected active
setting group.
The main characteristics of an element are shown on the element logic diagram. This includes the inputs, settings, fixed
logic, and the output operands generated (abbreviations used on scheme logic diagrams are defined in Appendix F).
Some settings for current and voltage elements are specified in per-unit (pu) calculated quantities:
pu quantity = (actual quantity) / (base quantity)
For current elements, the base quantity is the nominal secondary or primary current of the CT.
Where the current source is the sum of two CTs with different ratios, the base quantity will be the common secondary or primary current to which the sum is scaled (that is, normalized to the larger of the two rated CT inputs). For example, if CT1 =
300 / 5 A and CT2 = 100 / 5 A, then in order to sum these, CT2 is scaled to the CT1 ratio. In this case, the base quantity will
be 5 A secondary or 300 A primary.
For voltage elements the base quantity is the nominal primary voltage of the protected system which corresponds (based
on VT ratio and connection) to secondary VT voltage applied to the relay.
For example, on a system with a 13.8 kV nominal primary voltage and with 14400:120 V delta-connected VTs, the secondary nominal voltage (1 pu) would be:
13800
---------------- 120 = 115 V
14400
(EQ 5.1)
For wye-connected VTs, the secondary nominal voltage (1 pu) would be:
13800
---------------- 120
---------- = 66.4 V
14400
3
(EQ 5.2)
Many settings are common to most elements and are discussed below:
FUNCTION setting: This setting programs the element to be operational when selected as Enabled. The factory
default is Disabled. Once programmed to Enabled, any element associated with the function becomes active and all
options become available.
NAME setting: This setting is used to uniquely identify the element.
SOURCE setting: This setting is used to select the parameter or set of parameters to be monitored.
PICKUP setting: For simple elements, this setting is used to program the level of the measured parameter above or
below which the pickup state is established. In more complex elements, a set of settings may be provided to define the
range of the measured parameters which will cause the element to pickup.
PICKUP DELAY setting: This setting sets a time-delay-on-pickup, or on-delay, for the duration between the pickup
and operate output states.
RESET DELAY setting: This setting is used to set a time-delay-on-dropout, or off-delay, for the duration between the
Operate output state and the return to logic 0 after the input transits outside the defined pickup range.
5-4
GE Multilin
5 SETTINGS
5.1 OVERVIEW
BLOCK setting: The default output operand state of all comparators is a logic 0 or flag not set. The comparator
remains in this default state until a logic 1 is asserted at the RUN input, allowing the test to be performed. If the RUN
input changes to logic 0 at any time, the comparator returns to the default state. The RUN input is used to supervise
the comparator. The BLOCK input is used as one of the inputs to RUN control.
TARGET setting: This setting is used to define the operation of an element target message. When set to Disabled,
no target message or illumination of a faceplate LED indicator is issued upon operation of the element. When set to
Self-Reset, the target message and LED indication follow the operate state of the element, and self-resets once the
operate element condition clears. When set to Latched, the target message and LED indication will remain visible
after the element output returns to logic 0 until a RESET command is received by the relay.
EVENTS setting: This setting is used to control whether the pickup, dropout or operate states are recorded by the
event recorder. When set to Disabled, element pickup, dropout or operate are not recorded as events. When set to
Enabled, events are created for:
(Element) PKP (pickup)
(Element) DPO (dropout)
(Element) OP (operate)
The DPO event is created when the measure and decide comparator output transits from the pickup state (logic 1) to
the dropout state (logic 0). This could happen when the element is in the operate state if the reset delay time is not 0.
5.1.3 INTRODUCTION TO AC SOURCES
a) BACKGROUND
The B30 may be used on systems with breaker-and-a-half or ring bus configurations. In these applications, each of the two
three-phase sets of individual phase currents (one associated with each breaker) can be used as an input to a breaker failure element. The sum of both breaker phase currents and 3I_0 residual currents may be required for the circuit relaying
and metering functions. For a three-winding transformer application, it may be required to calculate watts and vars for each
of three windings, using voltage from different sets of VTs. These requirements can be satisfied with a single UR, equipped
with sufficient CT and VT input channels, by selecting the parameter to measure. A mechanism is provided to specify the
AC parameter (or group of parameters) used as the input to protection/control comparators and some metering elements.
Selection of the parameter(s) to measure is partially performed by the design of a measuring element or protection/control
comparator by identifying the type of parameter (fundamental frequency phasor, harmonic phasor, symmetrical component,
total waveform RMS magnitude, phase-phase or phase-ground voltage, etc.) to measure. The user completes the process
by selecting the instrument transformer input channels to use and some of the parameters calculated from these channels.
The input parameters available include the summation of currents from multiple input channels. For the summed currents of
phase, 3I_0, and ground current, current from CTs with different ratios are adjusted to a single ratio before summation.
A mechanism called a source configures the routing of CT and VT input channels to measurement sub-systems. Sources,
in the context of UR series relays, refer to the logical grouping of current and voltage signals such that one source contains
all the signals required to measure the load or fault in a particular power apparatus. A given source may contain all or some
of the following signals: three-phase currents, single-phase ground current, three-phase voltages and an auxiliary voltage
from a single VT for checking for synchronism.
To illustrate the concept of sources, as applied to current inputs only, consider the breaker-and-a-half scheme below. In this
application, the current flows as shown by the arrows. Some current flows through the upper bus bar to some other location
or power equipment, and some current flows into transformer winding 1. The current into winding 1 is the phasor sum (or
difference) of the currents in CT1 and CT2 (whether the sum or difference is used depends on the relative polarity of the CT
connections). The same considerations apply to transformer winding 2. The protection elements require access to the net
current for transformer protection, but some elements may need access to the individual currents from CT1 and CT2.

Figure 51: BREAKER-AND-A-HALF SCHEME

In conventional analog or electronic relays, the sum of the currents is obtained from an appropriate external connection of
all CTs through which any portion of the current for the element being protected could flow. Auxiliary CTs are required to
perform ratio matching if the ratios of the primary CTs to be summed are not identical. In the UR series of relays, provisions
have been included for all the current signals to be brought to the UR device where grouping, ratio correction and summation are applied internally via configuration settings.
A major advantage of using internal summation is that the individual currents are available to the protection device; for
example, as additional information to calculate a restraint current, or to allow the provision of additional protection features
that operate on the individual currents such as breaker failure.
Given the flexibility of this approach, it becomes necessary to add configuration settings to the platform to allow the user to
select which sets of CT inputs will be added to form the net current into the protected device.
The internal grouping of current and voltage signals forms an internal source. This source can be given a specific name
through the settings, and becomes available to protection and metering elements in the UR platform. Individual names can
be given to each source to help identify them more clearly for later use. For example, in the scheme shown in the above
diagram, the user configures one source to be the sum of CT1 and CT2 and can name this source as Wdg1 I.
Once the sources have been configured, the user has them available as selections for the choice of input signal for the protection elements and as metered quantities.
b) CT/VT MODULE CONFIGURATION
CT and VT input channels are contained in CT/VT modules. The type of input channel can be phase/neutral/other voltage,
phase/ground current, or sensitive ground current. The CT/VT modules calculate total waveform RMS levels, fundamental
frequency phasors, symmetrical components and harmonics for voltage or current, as allowed by the hardware in each
channel. These modules may calculate other parameters as directed by the CPU module.
A CT/VT module contains up to eight input channels, numbered 1 through 8. The channel numbering corresponds to the
module terminal numbering 1 through 8 and is arranged as follows: Channels 1, 2, 3 and 4 are always provided as a group,
hereafter called a bank, and all four are either current or voltage, as are channels 5, 6, 7 and 8. Channels 1, 2, 3 and 5, 6,
7 are arranged as phase A, B and C respectively. Channels 4 and 8 are either another current or voltage.
Banks are ordered sequentially from the block of lower-numbered channels to the block of higher-numbered channels, and
from the CT/VT module with the lowest slot position letter to the module with the highest slot position letter, as follows:
INCREASING SLOT POSITION LETTER -->
CT/VT MODULE 1
CT/VT MODULE 2
CT/VT MODULE 3
< bank 1 >
< bank 3 >
< bank 5 >
< bank 2 >
< bank 4 >
< bank 6 >

5.1 OVERVIEW
The UR platform allows for a maximum of three sets of three-phase voltages and six sets of three-phase currents. The
result of these restrictions leads to the maximum number of CT/VT modules in a chassis to three. The maximum number of
sources is six. A summary of CT/VT module configurations is shown below.
ITEM
MAXIMUM NUMBER
CT/VT Module
CT Bank (3 phase channels, 1 ground channel)
12
VT Bank (3 phase channels, 1 auxiliary channel)
c) CT/VT INPUT CHANNEL CONFIGURATION

Upon relay startup, configuration settings for every bank of current or voltage input channels in the relay are automatically
generated from the order code. Within each bank, a channel identification label is automatically assigned to each bank of
channels in a given product. The bank naming convention is based on the physical location of the channels, required by the
user to know how to connect the relay to external circuits. Bank identification consists of the letter designation of the slot in
which the CT/VT module is mounted as the first character, followed by numbers indicating the channel, either 1 or 5.
For three-phase channel sets, the number of the lowest numbered channel identifies the set. For example, F1 represents
the three-phase channel set of F1/F2/F3, where F is the slot letter and 1 is the first channel of the set of three channels.
Upon startup, the CPU configures the settings required to characterize the current and voltage inputs, and will display them
in the appropriate section in the sequence of the banks (as described above) as follows for a maximum configuration: F1,
F5, M1, M5, U1, and U5.
The above section explains how the input channels are identified and configured to the specific application instrument
transformers and the connections of these transformers. The specific parameters to be used by each measuring element
and comparator, and some actual values are controlled by selecting a specific source. The source is a group of current and
voltage input channels selected by the user to facilitate this selection. With this mechanism, a user does not have to make
multiple selections of voltage and current for those elements that need both parameters, such as a distance element or a
watt calculation. It also gathers associated parameters for display purposes.
The basic idea of arranging a source is to select a point on the power system where information is of interest. An application example of the grouping of parameters in a source is a transformer winding, on which a three phase voltage is measured, and the sum of the currents from CTs on each of two breakers is required to measure the winding current flow.

1.
Enter the new password in the Enter New Password field.
2.
Re-enter the password in the Confirm New Password field.
3.
Click the Change button. This button will not be active until the new password matches the confirmation password.
4.
If the original password is not 0, then enter the original password in the Enter Password field and click the Send
Password to Device button.
5.
The new password is accepted and a value is assigned to the ENCRYPTED PASSWORD item.
If a command or setting password is lost (or forgotten), consult the factory with the corresponding Encrypted Password
value.
If you establish a local connection to the relay (serial), you cannot view remote passcodes.

The following access supervision settings are available.
INVALID ATTEMPTS BEFORE LOCKOUT: This setting specifies the number of times an incorrect password can be
entered within a three-minute time span before lockout occurs. When lockout occurs, the LOCAL ACCESS DENIED or
REMOTE ACCESS DENIED FlexLogic operands are set to On. These operands are returned to the Off state upon
expiration of the lockout.
PASSWORD LOCKOUT DURATION: This setting specifies the time that the B30 will lockout password access after
the number of invalid password entries specified by the INVALID ATTEMPTS BEFORE LOCKOUT setting has occurred.
The B30 provides a means to raise an alarm upon failed password entry. Should password verification fail while accessing
a password-protected level of the relay (either settings or commands), the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS FlexLogic operand is
asserted. The operand can be programmed to raise an alarm via contact outputs or communications. This feature can be
used to protect against both unauthorized and accidental access attempts.
The UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS operand is reset with the COMMANDS CLEAR RECORDS RESET UNAUTHORIZED
ALARMS command. Therefore, to apply this feature with security, the command level should be password-protected. The
operand does not generate events or targets.
If events or targets are required, the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS operand can be assigned to a digital element programmed
with event logs or targets enabled.

SECURITY ACCESS
The dual permission security access feature provides a mechanism for customers to prevent unauthorized or unintended
upload of settings to a relay through the local or remote interfaces interface.
The following settings are available through the local (front panel) interface only.
LOCAL SETTING AUTH: This setting is used for local (front panel or RS232 interface) setting access supervision.
Valid values for the FlexLogic operands are either On (default) or any physical Contact Input ~~ On value.
If this setting is On, then local setting access functions as normal; that is, a local setting password is required. If this
setting is any contact input on FlexLogic operand, then the operand must be asserted (set as on) prior to providing the
local setting password to gain setting access.
If setting access is not authorized for local operation (front panel or RS232 interface) and the user attempts to obtain
setting access, then the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS message is displayed on the front panel.

REMOTE SETTING AUTH: This setting is used for remote (Ethernet or RS485 interfaces) setting access supervision.
If this setting is On (the default setting), then remote setting access functions as normal; that is, a remote password is
required). If this setting is Off, then remote setting access is blocked even if the correct remote setting password is
provided. If this setting is any other FlexLogic operand, then the operand must be asserted (set as on) prior to providing the remote setting password to gain setting access.
ACCESS AUTH TIMEOUT: This setting represents the timeout delay for local setting access. This setting is applicable
when the LOCAL SETTING AUTH setting is programmed to any operand except On. The state of the FlexLogic operand
is continuously monitored for an off-to-on transition. When this occurs, local access is permitted and the timer programmed with the ACCESS AUTH TIMEOUT setting value is started. When this timer expires, local setting access is
immediately denied. If access is permitted and an off-to-on transition of the FlexLogic operand is detected, the timeout
is restarted. The status of this timer is updated every 5 seconds.
The following settings are available through the remote (EnerVista UR Setup) interface only. Select the Settings > Product
Setup > Security menu item to display the security settings window.
The Remote Settings Authorization setting is used for remote (Ethernet or RS485 interfaces) setting access supervision.
If this setting is On (the default setting), then remote setting access functions as normal; that is, a remote password is
required). If this setting is Off, then remote setting access is blocked even if the correct remote setting password is provided. If this setting is any other FlexLogic operand, then the operand must be asserted (set as on) prior to providing the
remote setting password to gain setting access.
The Access Authorization Timeout setting represents the timeout delay remote setting access. This setting is applicable
when the Remote Settings Authorization setting is programmed to any operand except On or Off. The state of the
FlexLogic operand is continuously monitored for an off-to-on transition. When this occurs, remote setting access is permitted and the timer programmed with the Access Authorization Timeout setting value is started. When this timer expires,
remote setting access is immediately denied. If access is permitted and an off-to-on transition of the FlexLogic operand is
detected, the timeout is restarted. The status of this timer is updated every 5 seconds.
5.2.2 CYBERSENTRY SECURITY
a) SETUP
This section applies if the CyberSentry option is included with your relay.
When first using CyberSentry security, use the following procedures for set up.
First, activate and log in.
1.
Log in to the relay as Administrator by using the Value keys on the front panel to enter the default password
"ChangeMe1#". The "Lock relay" setting needs to be disabled in the Security > Supervisory menu. Disabling this setting allows settings configuration and firmware upgrade.
2.
Enable the Supervisor role if you have a need for it.
3.
Log out the Administrator account, then log in as Observer.
Next, local or remote authentication can be used. Use local authentication to log in using the five pre-configured roles
(Administrator, Supervisor, Engineer, Operator, Observer). When using a serial connection, only local authentication is supported. For remote authentication, the RADIUS server requires configuration, as outlined here. A window pops up when trying to change a setting and allows you to choose the authentication mechanism.
To use local authentication:
1.
2.
Log in as outlined (Administrator or Supervisor, then Observer).

After making any required changes, log off using the Commands > Relay Maintenance > Security menu. Users
logged in through the front panel log out by logging in as None.
5-12
GE Multilin
5 SETTINGS
5.2 PRODUCT SETUP
Users logged in through the front panel are not timed out and cannot be forcefully logged out by a
supervisor. Roles logged in through the front panel that do no allow multiple instances (Administrator, Supervisor, Engineer, Operator) must switch to None (equivalent to a logout) when they are done
in order to log out.
To use remote authentication:
1.
Log in as Administrator or Supervisor.
2.
Configure the following RADIUS server parameters: IP address, authentication port, shared secret, and vendor ID.
3.
Configure the RADIUS server. Do not use the five pre-defined roles as user names (Administrator, Supervisor, Engineer, Operator, Observer) in the RADIUS server. If you do, the UR relay automatically provides the authentication from
local.
4.
Log in using the user name and password configured in the RADIUS server for remote authentication login.
5.
Log in as Administrator or Supervisor. The "Lock relay" setting needs to be disabled in the Security > Supervisory
menu.
6.
After making any required changes, log out using the Commands > Relay Maintenance > Security menu.
For all user roles except Observer, only one instance can be logged in at one time, for both login by
front panel and software.
When changing settings offline, ensure that only settings permitted by the role that performs the settings download are changed because only those changes are applied.
Targets refer to errors displayed on the front panel or the Targets panel in the EnerVista software. User accounts of Operator and above can reset the targets using the reset key on the front panel.
To reset targets:
1.
Log in as Operator or above and make the changes. To reset the security-related self-test or authentication lockout, log
in as Administrator or Supervisor and execute a clear security command under Commands > Security > Clear Security.

The roles are defined as follows:
Administrator: Complete read and write access to all settings and commands. This role does not allow concurrent
access. This role has an operand to indicate when it is logged on.
Engineer: Complete read and write access to all settings and commands with the exception of configuring Security settings and Firmware upgrades. This role does not allow concurrent access.
Operator: The Operator has read/write access to all settings under the command menu/section. This role does not
exist offline.
Supervisor: This is only an approving role. This roles authentication commits setting changes submitted by Administrator or Engineer. The Supervisor role authenticates to unlock the UR relay for setting changes and not approve changes
after the fact. Only Supervisor can set the Settings and Firmware Lock in the Security Settings. This role also has the
ability to forcefully logoff any other role and clear the security event log. This role can also be disabled, but only
through a Supervisor authentication. When this role is disabled its permissions are assigned to the Administrator role.
Observer: This role has read only access to all UR settings. This role allows unlimited concurrent access but it has no
download access to any files on the device. Observer is the default role if no authentication has been done to the
device.
The Factory service role is not available and intended for factory use only.

or by the Administrator if the Supervisor role is disabled. The Supervisor role enables this setting for the relay to start
accepting setting changes or command changes or firmware upgrade. After all the setting changes are applied or commands executed, the Supervisor disables to lock setting changes.
Example: If this setting is "Yes" and an attempt is made to change settings or upgrade the firmware, the UR device denies
the setting changes and denies upgrading the firmware. If this setting is "No", the UR device accepts setting changes and
firmware upgrade.
This role is disabled by default.

Some relay messaging characteristics can be modified to suit different situations using the display properties settings.
LANGUAGE: This setting selects the language used to display settings, actual values, and targets. The range is
dependent on the order code of the relay.
FLASH MESSAGE TIME: Flash messages are status, warning, error, or information messages displayed for several
seconds in response to certain key presses during setting programming. These messages override any normal messages. The duration of a flash message on the display can be changed to accommodate different reading rates.
DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT: If the keypad is inactive for a period of time, the relay automatically reverts to a
default message. The inactivity time is modified via this setting to ensure messages remain on the screen long enough
during programming or reading of actual values.
DEFAULT MESSAGE INTENSITY: To extend phosphor life in the vacuum fluorescent display, the brightness can be
attenuated during default message display. During keypad interrogation, the display always operates at full brightness.
SCREEN SAVER FEATURE and SCREEN SAVER WAIT TIME: These settings are only visible if the B30 has a liquid
crystal display (LCD) and control its backlighting. When the SCREEN SAVER FEATURE is Enabled, the LCD backlighting
is turned off after the DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT followed by the SCREEN SAVER WAIT TIME, providing that no keys
have been pressed and no target messages are active. When a keypress occurs or a target becomes active, the LCD
backlighting is turned on.
CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL: This setting modifies the current cut-off threshold. Very low currents (1 to 2% of the
rated value) are very susceptible to noise. Some customers prefer very low currents to display as zero, while others
prefer the current be displayed even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual signal. The B30 applies a cutoff value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured currents. If the magnitude is below the cut-off level, it is substituted with zero. This applies to phase and ground current phasors as well as true RMS values and symmetrical components. The cut-off operation applies to quantities used for metering, protection, and control, as well as those used by
communications protocols. Note that the cut-off level for the sensitive ground input is 10 times lower that the CURRENT
CUT-OFF LEVEL setting value. Raw current samples available via oscillography are not subject to cut-off.
VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL: This setting modifies the voltage cut-off threshold. Very low secondary voltage measurements (at the fractional volt level) can be affected by noise. Some customers prefer these low voltages to be displayed
as zero, while others prefer the voltage to be displayed even when the value reflects noise rather than the actual signal. The B30 applies a cut-off value to the magnitudes and angles of the measured voltages. If the magnitude is below
the cut-off level, it is substituted with zero. This operation applies to phase and auxiliary voltages, and symmetrical

NOTE
Lower the VOLTAGE CUT-OFF LEVEL and CURRENT CUT-OFF LEVEL with care as the relay accepts lower signals
as valid measurements. Unless dictated otherwise by a specific application, the default settings of 0.02

RECORDS
Selected records can be cleared from user-programmable conditions with FlexLogic operands. Assigning user-programmable pushbuttons to clear specific records are typical applications for these commands. Since the B30 responds to rising
edges of the configured FlexLogic operands, they must be asserted for at least 50 ms to take effect.
Clearing records with user-programmable operands is not protected by the command password. However, user-programmable pushbuttons are protected by the command password. Thus, if they are used to clear records, the user-programmable pushbuttons can provide extra security if required.
For example, to assign user-programmable pushbutton 1 to clear demand records, the following settings should be applied.

The IP addresses are used with the DNP, Modbus/TCP, IEC 61580, IEC 60870-5-104, TFTP, and HTTP protocols. The
NSAP address is used with the IEC 61850 protocol over the OSI (CLNP/TP4) stack only. Each network protocol has a setting for the TCP/UDP port number. These settings are used only in advanced network configurations and should normally
be left at their default values, but may be changed if required (for example, to allow access to multiple UR-series relays
behind a router). By setting a different TCP/UDP PORT NUMBER for a given protocol on each UR-series relay, the router can
map the relays to the same external IP address. The client software (EnerVista UR Setup, for example) must be configured
to use the correct port number if these settings are used.

The serial communication ports utilize the Modbus protocol, unless configured for DNP or IEC 60870-5-104 operation (see
descriptions below). This allows the EnerVista UR Setup software to be used. The UR operates as a Modbus slave device
only. When using Modbus protocol on the RS232 port, the B30 responds regardless of the MODBUS SLAVE ADDRESS programmed. For the RS485 port, each B30 must have a unique address from 1 to 254. Address 0 is the broadcast address
which all Modbus slave devices listen to. Addresses do not have to be sequential, but no two devices can have the same
address or conflicts resulting in errors will occur. Generally, each device added to the link should use the next higher
address starting at 1. See Appendix B for more information on the Modbus protocol.
A value of 0 closes the port. When the Modbus port is set to 0, communicate with the relay using the front panel or serial
port.
When a 0 value is involved in a change, the changes to the MODBUS TCP PORT NUMBER setting take effect
when the B30 is restarted.

The B30 supports the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) version 3.0. The B30 can be used as a DNP slave device connected to multiple DNP masters (usually an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the B30 maintains two sets of DNP
data change buffers and connection information, two DNP masters can actively communicate with the B30 at one time.
NOTE
The IEC 60870-5-104 and DNP protocols cannot be used simultaneously. When the IEC 60870-5-104 FUNCTION
setting is set to Enabled, the DNP protocol is not operational. When this setting is changed it does not become
active until power to the relay has been cycled (off-to-on).

The DNP CHANNEL 1 PORT and DNP CHANNEL 2 PORT settings select the communications port assigned to the DNP protocol
for each channel. Once DNP is assigned to a serial port, the Modbus protocol is disabled on that port. When this setting is
set to Network - TCP, the DNP protocol can be used over TCP/IP on channels 1 or 2. When this value is set to Network UDP, the DNP protocol can be used over UDP/IP on channel 1 only. Refer to Appendix E for additional information on the
DNP protocol.
Changes to the DNP CHANNEL 1 PORT and DNP CHANNEL 2 PORT settings take effect only after power has
been cycled to the relay.

The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE FUNCTION should be Disabled for RS485 applications since there is no collision avoidance
mechanism. The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE TIMEOUT sets the time the B30 waits for a DNP master to confirm an unsolicited
response. The DNP UNSOL RESPONSE MAX RETRIES setting determines the number of times the B30 retransmits an unsolicited response without receiving confirmation from the master; a value of 255 allows infinite re-tries. The DNP UNSOL
RESPONSE DEST ADDRESS is the DNP address to which all unsolicited responses are sent. The IP address to which unsolicited responses are sent is determined by the B30 from the current TCP connection or the most recent UDP message.
The DNP scale factor settings are numbers used to scale analog input point values. These settings group the B30 analog
input data into the following types: current, voltage, power, energy, power factor, and other. Each setting represents the
scale factor for all analog input points of that type. For example, if the DNP VOLTAGE SCALE FACTOR setting is set to 1000,
all DNP analog input points that are voltages will be returned with values 1000 times smaller (for example, a value of 72000
V on the B30 will be returned as 72). These settings are useful when analog input values must be adjusted to fit within certain ranges in DNP masters. Note that a scale factor of 0.1 is equivalent to a multiplier of 10 (that is, the value will be 10
times larger).
The DNP DEFAULT DEADBAND settings determine when to trigger unsolicited responses containing analog input data. These
settings group the B30 analog input data into the following types: current, voltage, power, energy, power factor, and other.
Each setting represents the default deadband value for all analog input points of that type. For example, to trigger unsolic-

ited responses from the B30 when any current values change by 15 A, the DNP CURRENT DEFAULT DEADBAND setting
should be set to 15. Note that these settings are the deadband default values. DNP object 34 points can be used to
change deadband values, from the default, for each individual DNP analog input point. Whenever power is removed and
re-applied to the B30, the default deadbands will be in effect.
The B30 relay does not support power metering. As such, the DNP POWER SCALE FACTOR and DNP POWER DEFAULT
settings are not applicable.

NOTE
The B30 relay does not support energy metering. As such, the DNP ENERGY SCALE FACTOR and DNP ENERGY
settings are not applicable.
DEFAULT DEADBAND
NOTE
The DNP TIME SYNC IIN PERIOD setting determines how often the Need Time Internal Indication (IIN) bit is set by the B30.
Changing this time allows the DNP master to send time synchronization commands more or less often, as required.
The DNP MESSAGE FRAGMENT SIZE setting determines the size, in bytes, at which message fragmentation occurs. Large
fragment sizes allow for more efficient throughput; smaller fragment sizes cause more application layer confirmations to be
necessary which can provide for more robust data transfer over noisy communication channels.
NOTE
When the DNP data points (analog inputs and/or binary inputs) are configured for Ethernet-enabled relays, check
the DNP Points Lists B30 web page to view the points lists. This page can be viewed with a web browser by entering the B30 IP address to access the B30 Main Menu, then by selecting the Device Information Menu > DNP
Points Lists menu item.
The DNP OBJECT 1 DEFAULT VARIATION to DNP OBJECT 32 DEFAULT VARIATION settings allow the user to select the DNP
default variation number for object types 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and 32. The default variation refers to the variation
response when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. Refer to the DNP implementation section in
appendix E for additional details.
The DNP binary outputs typically map one-to-one to IED data points. That is, each DNP binary output controls a single
physical or virtual control point in an IED. In the B30 relay, DNP binary outputs are mapped to virtual inputs. However, some
legacy DNP implementations use a mapping of one DNP binary output to two physical or virtual control points to support
the concept of trip/close (for circuit breakers) or raise/lower (for tap changers) using a single control point. That is, the DNP
master can operate a single point for both trip and close, or raise and lower, operations. The B30 can be configured to support paired control points, with each paired control point operating two virtual inputs. The DNP NUMBER OF PAIRED CONTROL
POINTS setting allows configuration of from 0 to 32 binary output paired controls. Points not configured as paired operate on
a one-to-one basis.
The DNP ADDRESS setting is the DNP slave address. This number identifies the B30 on a DNP communications link. Each
DNP slave should be assigned a unique address.
The DNP TCP CONNECTION TIMEOUT setting specifies a time delay for the detection of dead network TCP connections. If
there is no data traffic on a DNP TCP connection for greater than the time specified by this setting, the connection will be
aborted by the B30. This frees up the connection to be re-used by a client.
Relay power must be re-cycled after changing the DNP TCP CONNECTION TIMEOUT setting for the changes to take
effect.

The B30 Bus Differential System is provided with optional IEC 61850 communications capability. This feature is specified as a software option at the time of ordering. Refer to the Ordering section of chapter 2 for
additional details.
Use independent ports for IEC 61850 communication and take care when configuring the settings,
else loss of protection or misoperation of the relay can result.
The B30 supports the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) protocol as specified by IEC 61850. MMS is supported
over two protocol stacks: TCP/IP over ethernet and TP4/CLNP (OSI) over ethernet. The B30 operates as an IEC 61850

The DESTINATION MAC setting allows the destination Ethernet MAC address to be set. This address must be a multicast
address; the least significant bit of the first byte must be set. In B30 releases previous to 5.0x, the destination Ethernet
MAC address was determined automatically by taking the sending MAC address (that is, the unique, local MAC address of
the B30) and setting the multicast bit.
The GOOSE VLAN PRIORITY setting indicates the Ethernet priority of GOOSE messages. This allows GOOSE messages to
have higher priority than other Ethernet data. The GOOSE ETYPE APPID setting allows the selection of a specific application

The configurable GOOSE settings allow the B30 to be configured to transmit a number of different datasets within IEC
61850 GOOSE messages. Up to eight different configurable datasets can be configured and transmitted. This is useful for
intercommunication between B30 IEDs and devices from other manufacturers that support IEC 61850.
The configurable GOOSE feature allows for the configuration of the datasets to be transmitted or received from the B30.
The B30 supports the configuration of eight (8) transmission and reception datasets, allowing for the optimization of data
transfer between devices.
Items programmed for dataset 1 and 2 will have changes in their status transmitted as soon as the change is detected.
Datasets 1 and 2 should be used for high-speed transmission of data that is required for applications such as transfer tripping, blocking, and breaker fail initiate. At least one digital status value needs to be configured in the required dataset to
enable transmission of configured data. Configuring analog data only to dataset 1 or 2 will not activate transmission.
Items programmed for datasets 3 through 8 will have changes in their status transmitted at a maximum rate of every
100 ms. Datasets 3 through 8 will regularly analyze each data item configured within them every 100 ms to identify if any
changes have been made. If any changes in the data items are detected, these changes will be transmitted through a
GOOSE message. If there are no changes detected during this 100 ms period, no GOOSE message will be sent.
For all datasets 1 through 8, the integrity GOOSE message will still continue to be sent at the pre-configured rate even if no
changes in the data items are detected.
The GOOSE functionality was enhanced to prevent the relay from flooding a communications network with GOOSE messages due to an oscillation being created that is triggering a message.
The B30 has the ability of detecting if a data item in one of the GOOSE datasets is erroneously oscillating. This can be
caused by events such as errors in logic programming, inputs improperly being asserted and de-asserted, or failed station
components. If erroneously oscillation is detected, the B30 will stop sending GOOSE messages from the dataset for a minimum period of one second. Should the oscillation persist after the one second time-out period, the B30 will continue to
block transmission of the dataset. The B30 will assert the MAINTENANCE ALERT: GGIO Ind XXX oscill self-test error message on the front panel display, where XXX denotes the data item detected as oscillating.
For versions 5.70 and higher, the B30 supports four retransmission schemes: aggressive, medium, relaxed, and heartbeat.
The aggressive scheme is only supported in fast type 1A GOOSE messages (GOOSEOut 1 and GOOSEOut 2). For slow
GOOSE messages (GOOSEOut 3 to GOOSEOut 8) the aggressive scheme is the same as the medium scheme.

The configurable GOOSE feature is recommended for applications that require GOOSE data transfer between UR-series
IEDs and devices from other manufacturers. Fixed GOOSE is recommended for applications that require GOOSE data
transfer between UR-series IEDs.
IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging contains a number of configurable parameters, all of which must be correct to achieve the
successful transfer of data. It is critical that the configured datasets at the transmission and reception devices are an exact
match in terms of data structure, and that the GOOSE addresses and name strings match exactly. Manual configuration is
possible, but third-party substation configuration software may be used to automate the process. The EnerVista UR Setup
software can produce IEC 61850 ICD files and import IEC 61850 SCD files produced by a substation configurator (refer to
the IEC 61850 IED configuration section later in this appendix).
The following example illustrates the configuration required to transfer IEC 61850 data items between two devices. The
general steps required for transmission configuration are:
1.
Configure the transmission dataset.
2.
Configure the GOOSE service settings.
3.
Configure the data.
The general steps required for reception configuration are:

Set the REMOTE DEVICE 1 DATASET value. This value represents the dataset number in use. Since we are using
configurable GOOSE 1 in this example, program this value as GOOSEIn 1.
Configure the Boolean data by making the following changes in the INPUTS/OUTPUTS REMOTE INPUTS REMOTE
settings menu:

4.
Set REMOTE IN 1 DEVICE to GOOSEOut_1.
Set REMOTE IN 1 ITEM to Dataset Item 2. This assigns the value of the GGIO3.ST.Ind1.stVal single point status
item to remote input 1.
Configure the analog data by making the following changes in the INPUTS/OUTPUTS IEC 61850 GOOSE ANALOG
settings menu:
INPUTS
Set the IEC61850 GOOSE ANALOG INPUT 1 DEFAULT VALUE to 60.000.
Enter Hz for the IEC61850 GOOSE ANALOG INPUT 1 UNITS setting.
The GOOSE analog input 1 can now be used as a FlexAnalog value in a FlexElement or in other settings. The B30 must be
rebooted (control power removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect.
The value of GOOSE analog input 1 in the receiving device will be determined by the MMXU1.MX.Hz.mag.f value in the
sending device. This MMXU value is determined by the source 1 frequency value and the MMXU Hz deadband setting of
the sending device.
Remote input 1 can now be used in FlexLogic equations or other settings. The B30 must be rebooted (control power
removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect.
The value of remote input 1 (Boolean on or off) in the receiving device will be determined by the GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal value
in the sending device. The above settings will be automatically populated by the EnerVista UR Setup software when a complete SCD file is created by third party substation configurator software.
For intercommunication between B30 IEDs, the fixed (DNA/UserSt) dataset can be used. The DNA/UserSt dataset contains
the same DNA and UserSt bit pairs that are included in GSSE messages. All GOOSE messages transmitted by the B30
(DNA/UserSt dataset and configurable datasets) use the IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging services (for example, VLAN support).
Set the CONFIG GSE 1 FUNCTION function to Disabled when configuration changes are required. Once changes are
entered, return the CONFIG GSE 1 FUNCTION to Enabled and restart the unit for changes to take effect.

The configurable GOOSE settings allow the B30 to be configured to receive a number of different datasets within IEC
61850 GOOSE messages. Up to sixteen different configurable datasets can be configured for reception. This is useful for
intercommunication between B30 IEDs and devices from other manufacturers that support IEC 61850.
For intercommunication between B30 IEDs, the fixed (DNA/UserSt) dataset can be used. The DNA/UserSt dataset contains
the same DNA and UserSt bit pairs that are included in GSSE messages.
To set up a B30 to receive a configurable GOOSE dataset that contains two IEC 61850 single point status indications, the
following dataset items can be selected (for example, for configurable GOOSE dataset 1): GGIO3.ST.Ind1.stVal and
GGIO3.ST.Ind2.stVal. The B30 will then create a dataset containing these two data items. The Boolean status values from
these data items can be utilized as remote input FlexLogic operands. First, the REMOTE DEVICE 1(16) DATASET setting must
be set to contain dataset GOOSEIn 1 (that is, the first configurable dataset). Then REMOTE IN 1(16) ITEM settings must be
set to Dataset Item 1 and Dataset Item 2. These remote input FlexLogic operands will then change state in accordance
with the status values of the data items in the configured dataset.
Double-point status values may be included in the GOOSE dataset. Received values are populated in the
GGIO3.ST.IndPos1.stVal and higher items.
Floating point analog values originating from MMXU logical nodes may be included in GOOSE datasets. Deadband (noninstantaneous) values can be transmitted. Received values are used to populate the GGIO3.MX.AnIn1 and higher items.
Received values are also available as FlexAnalog parameters (GOOSE analog In1 and up).
GGIO3.MX.AnIn1 to GGIO3.MX.AnIn32 can only be used once for all sixteen reception datasets.

The IED NAME and LD INST settings represent the MMS domain name (IEC 61850 logical device) where all IEC/MMS logical
nodes are located. Valid characters for these values are upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and the underscore (_)
character, and the first character in the string must be a letter. This conforms to the IEC 61850 standard. The LOCATION is a
variable string and can be composed of ASCII characters. This string appears within the PhyName of the LPHD node.
The IEC/MMS TCP PORT NUMBER setting allows the user to change the TCP port number for MMS connections. The INCLUDE
NON-IEC DATA setting determines whether or not the UR MMS domain will be available. This domain contains a large number of UR-series specific data items that are not available in the IEC 61850 logical nodes. This data does not follow the IEC
61850 naming conventions. For communications schemes that strictly follow the IEC 61850 standard, this setting should be
Disabled.
The SERVER SCANNING feature should be set to Disabled when IEC 61850 client/server functionality is not required. IEC
61850 has two modes of functionality: GOOSE/GSSE inter-device communication and client/server communication. If the
GOOSE/GSSE functionality is required without the IEC 61850 client server feature, then server scanning can be disabled
to increase CPU resources. When server scanning is disabled, there will be not updated to the IEC 61850 logical node status values in the B30. Clients will still be able to connect to the server (B30 relay), but most data values will not be updated.
This setting does not affect GOOSE/GSSE operation.
Changes to the IED NAME setting, LD INST setting, and GOOSE dataset will not take effect until the B30 is restarted.

The B30 supports the IEC 60870-5-104 protocol. The B30 can be used as an IEC 60870-5-104 slave device connected to
a maximum of two masters (usually either an RTU or a SCADA master station). Since the B30 maintains two sets of IEC
60870-5-104 data change buffers, no more than two masters should actively communicate with the B30 at one time.
The IEC ------- DEFAULT THRESHOLD settings are used to determine when to trigger spontaneous responses containing
M_ME_NC_1 analog data. These settings group the B30 analog data into types: current, voltage, power, energy, and other.
Each setting represents the default threshold value for all M_ME_NC_1 analog points of that type. For example, to trigger
spontaneous responses from the B30 when any current values change by 15 A, the IEC CURRENT DEFAULT THRESHOLD setting should be set to 15. Note that these settings are the default values of the deadbands. P_ME_NC_1 (parameter of measured value, short floating point value) points can be used to change threshold values, from the default, for each individual
M_ME_NC_1 analog point. Whenever power is removed and re-applied to the B30, the default thresholds are in effect.
The B30 relay does not support power metering. As such, the IEC POWER DEFAULT THRESHOLD setting is not applicable.
NOTE
The B30 relay does not support energy metering. As such, the IEC ENERGY DEFAULT THRESHOLD setting is not applicable.
NOTE
NOTE
The IEC 60870-5-104 and DNP protocols cannot be used simultaneously. When the IEC 60870-5-104 FUNCTION
setting is set to Enabled, the DNP protocol does not operate. When this setting is changed, it takes effect when
power to the relay is cycled (off-to-on).

The B30 Bus Differential System is provided with optional Ethernet Global Data (EGD) communications
capability. This feature is specified as a software option at the time of ordering. See the Ordering section
of chapter 2 for additional details.
The relay supports one fast Ethernet Global Data (EGD) exchange and two slow EGD exchanges. There are 20 data items
in the fast-produced EGD exchange and 50 data items in each slow-produced exchange.
Ethernet Global Data (EGD) is a suite of protocols used for the real-time transfer of data for display and control purposes.
The relay can be configured to produce EGD data exchanges, and other devices can be configured to consume EGD
data exchanges. The number of produced exchanges (up to three), the data items in each exchange (up to 50), and the
exchange production rate can be configured.
EGD cannot be used to transfer data between UR-series relays. The relay supports EGD production only. An EGD
exchange will not be transmitted unless the destination address is non-zero, and at least the first data item address is set to
a valid Modbus register address. Note that the default setting value of 0 is considered invalid.

Slow EGD exchanges (500 to 1000 ms) are generally used for the transfer and display of data items. The settings for the
fast and slow exchanges are described below:
EXCH 1 DESTINATION: This setting specifies the destination IP address of the produced EGD exchange. This is usually unicast or broadcast.
EXCH 1 DATA RATE: This setting specifies the rate at which this EGD exchange is transmitted. If the setting is 50 ms,
the exchange data will be updated and sent once every 50 ms. If the setting is 1000 ms, the exchange data will be
updated and sent once per second. EGD exchange 1 has a setting range of 50 to 1000 ms. Exchanges 2 and 3 have a
setting range of 500 to 1000 ms.
EXCH 1 DATA ITEM 1 to 20/50: These settings specify the data items that are part of this EGD exchange. Almost any
data from the B30 memory map can be configured to be included in an EGD exchange. The settings are the starting
Modbus register address for the data item in decimal format. Refer to Appendix B for the complete Modbus memory
map. Note that the Modbus memory map displays shows addresses in hexadecimal format. as such, it will be necessary to convert these values to decimal format before entering them as values for these setpoints.
To select a data item to be part of an exchange, it is only necessary to choose the starting Modbus address of the item.
That is, for items occupying more than one Modbus register (for example, 32 bit integers and floating point values),
only the first Modbus address is required. The EGD exchange configured with these settings contains the data items
up to the first setting that contains a Modbus address with no data, or 0. That is, if the first three settings contain valid
Modbus addresses and the fourth is 0, the produced EGD exchange will contain three data items.

The relay contains a real time clock (RTC) to create timestamps for communications protocols as well as for historical data,
such as event records and oscillography. When the relay restarts, the RTC initializes from an onboard battery-backed
clock, which has the same accuracy as an electronic watch, approximately 1 minute per month (~23 ppm). Once the RTC
is synchronized with the Precision Time Protocol (PTP), IRIG-B, or SNTP, its accuracy approaches that of the synchronizing time delivered to the relay.
The SYNCHRONIZING SOURCE setting configures the priority sequence that the relay uses to determine which of the
available external time sources synchronizes the RTC and the synchrophasor clock. A setting of None causes the RTC and
the synchrophasor clock to free-run. A setting of PP/IRIGB/PTP/SNTP, IRIGB/PP/PTP/SNTP, or PP/PTP/IRIGB/SNTP
causes the relay to track the first source named that is enabled and operational, or free-run if none of these are available.
Here, PP means a time source that is strictly compliant with PP, PTP means a time source that is not strictly compliant with
PP. When a time source fails or recovers, the relay automatically transfers synchronization as required by this setting.
See the COMMANDS SET DATE AND TIME menu item section of this manual to manually set the RTC.
The REAL TIME CLOCK EVENTS setting allows changes to the date and/or time to be captured in the event record. The
event records the RTC time before the adjustment.

The UR supports the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) specified in IEEE Std 1588 2008 using the Power Profile (PP) specified
in IEEE Std C37.238 2011. This enables the relay to synchronize to the international time standard over an Ethernet network that implements PP.
The relay can be configured to operate on some PTP networks that are not strictly PP. Time accuracy can be less than
specified for a PP network. Tolerated deviations from strict PP include 1) missing declaration of PP compliance in the messages, 2) connection to a network device that does not support the PTP peer delay mechanism, 3) jitter substantially
greater than 1 s in received event messages, and 4) certain non-compliant announce and sync message update rates.
The relay implements PTP according to IEEE Std 1588 2008 and the equivalent IEC 61588:2009(E), sometimes
referred to as version 2 PTP. It does not support the previous version of the standard (version 1).
NOTE
PTP is a protocol that allows multiple clocks in a network to synchronize with one another. It permits synchronization accuracies better than 1 ns, but this requires each and every component in the network achieve very high levels of accuracy and
a very high baud rate, faster than normally used for relay communications. When operating over a generic Ethernet network, time error may amount to 1 ms or more. PP is a profile of PTP which specifies a limited subset of PTP suitable for use
in power system protection, control, automation and data communication applications, and thereby facilitates interoperability between different vendors clocks and switches. PP specifies a worst-case delivered time error of less than 1 s over a
16-hop network.
In a PTP system and in a PP system, the clocks automatically organize themselves into a master-slave synchronization
hierarchy with the best clock available making itself the "grandmaster" at the top of the hierarchy; all others make themselves slaves and track the grandmaster. Typically the grandmaster clock receives its time from GPS satellites or some
other link to the international time standard. If the grandmaster fails, the next best clock available in the domain assumes
the grandmaster role. Should a clock on starting up discover it is better that the present grandmaster, it assumes the
grandmaster role and the previous grandmaster reverts to slave.
GE Multilin
5-47
5.2 PRODUCT SETUP
5 SETTINGS
Time messages issued by the grandmaster are delayed as they pass through the network both due to the finite speed of
the signal in the interconnecting fiber or wire. Each clock and switch implementing PP measures the propagation delay to
each of its PP neighbors, and compensates for these delays in the time received. Each network device implementing PP
measures the processing delay it introduces in each time message and compensates for this delay in the time it transmits.
As a result, the time delivered to end-devices such as the UR are virtually identical to the grandmaster time. Should one of
the network devices in the hierarchy not fully implement PP, the associated propagation delay and/or latency may not be
compensated for, and the time received at the end-device could be in error by more than 100 s.
See the Settings > Product Setup > Real Time Clock section of this manual for a description of when time values
received via PTP are used to update the relays real time clock.
The following settings are available for configuring the relay for PTP.
PORT 1 ... 3 FUNCTION
While this port setting is selected to disabled, PTP is disabled on this port. The relay does not generate or listen to
PTP messages on this port.
PORT 1 ... 3 PATH DELAY ADDER
The time delivered by PTP is advanced by the time value in this setting prior to the time being used to synchronize the
relays real time clock. This is to compensate to the extent practical for time delivery delays not compensated for in the
network. In a fully compliant PP network, the peer delay and the processing delay mechanisms compensate for all the
delays between the grandmaster and the relay. In such networks, this setting should be zero.
In networks containing one or more switches and/or clocks that do not implement both of these mechanisms, not all
delays are compensated, so the time of message arrival at the relay will be later than the time indicated in the message. This setting can be used to approximately compensate for this delay. However, as the relay is not aware of network switching that dynamically changes the amount of uncompensated delay, there is no setting that will always
completely correct for uncompensated delay. A setting can be chosen that will reduce worst-case error to half of the
range between minimum and maximum uncompensated delay, if these values are known.
PORT 1 ... 3 PATH DELAY ASYMMETRY
This setting corresponds to delayAsymmetry in PTP, which is used by the peer delay mechanism to compensate for
any difference in the propagation delay between the two directions of a link. Except in unusual cases, the two fibers are
of essentially identical length and composition, so this setting should be set to zero.
In unusual cases where the length of the link is different in different directions, this setting should be set to the number
of nanoseconds the Ethernet propagation delay to the relay is longer than the mean of path propagation delays to and
from the relay. For instance, if it is known say from the physical length of the fibers and the propagation speed in the
fibers that the delay from the relay to the Ethernet switch it is connected to is 9 000 ns and the that the delay from the
switch to the relay is 11 000 ns, then the mean delay is 10 000 ns, and the path delay asymmetry is 11000 - 10000 =
+1000 ns.
STRICT POWER PROFILE
Power profile (IEEE Std C37.238 2011) requires that the relay only select as a grandmaster power profile compliant
clocks, that the delivered time have worst-case error of 1 s, and that the peer delay mechanism be implemented.
With the strict power profile setting enabled, the relay will only select as master clocks displaying the IEEE_C37_238
identification codes. It will use a port only when the peer delay mechanism is operational. With the strict power profile
setting disabled, the relay will use clocks without the power profile identification when no power profile clocks are present, and will use ports even if the peer delay mechanism is non-operational.
This setting applies to all of the relays PTP capable ports.
PTP DOMAIN NUMBER
This setting should be set to the domain number of the grandmaster-capable clock(s) to be synchronized to. A network may support multiple time distribution domains, each distinguished with a unique domain number. More commonly, there is a single domain using the default domain number zero.

PTP VLAN PRIORITY
This setting selects the value of the priority field in the 802.1Q VLAN tag in request messages issued by the relays
peer delay mechanism. In compliance with PP the default VLAN priority is 4, but it is recommended that in accordance
with PTP it be set to 7.
Depending on the characteristics of the device to which the relay is directly linked, VLAN Priority may have no effect.
PTP VLAN ID
This setting selects the value of the ID field in the 802.1Q VLAN tag in request messages issued by the relays peer
delay mechanism. It is provided in compliance with PP. As these messages have a destination address that indicates
they are not to be bridged, their VLAN ID serves no function, and so may be left at its default value.
Depending on the characteristics of the device to which the relay is directly linked, VLAN ID may have no effect.

SNTP PROTOCOL
The B30 supports the Simple Network Time Protocol specified in RFC-2030. With SNTP, the B30 can obtain clock time
over an Ethernet network. The B30 acts as an SNTP client to receive time values from an SNTP/NTP server, usually a dedicated product using a GPS receiver to provide an accurate time. Both unicast and broadcast SNTP are supported.
If SNTP functionality is enabled at the same time as IRIG-B, the IRIG-B signal provides the time value to the B30 clock for
as long as a valid signal is present. If the IRIG-B signal is removed, the time obtained from the SNTP server is used. If
either SNTP or IRIG-B is enabled, the B30 clock value cannot be changed using the front panel keypad.
To use SNTP, SNTP SERVER IP ADDR must be set to the SNTP/NTP server IP address. Once this address is set and SNTP
is Enabled, the B30 attempts to obtain time values from the SNTP/NTP server. Since many time values are
obtained and averaged, it generally takes three to four minutes until the B30 clock is closely synchronized with the SNTP/
NTP server. It may take up to two minutes for the B30 to signal an SNTP self-test error if the server is offline.
FUNCTION
The UR-series relays do not support the broadcast, multicast or anycast SNTP functionality.

LOCAL TIME
The LOCAL TIME OFFSET FROM UTC setting is used to specify the local time zone offset from Universal Coordinated Time
(Greenwich Mean Time) in hours. Time zones in the eastern hemisphere have positive values; time zones in the western
hemisphere have negative values. A value of zero causes the relay to use UTC for local time. This setting has two uses.
When the system RTC is synchronized with IRIG-B or is free-running, the offset setting is used to calculate UTC time from
the local time these provide. When the RTC is synchronized with PTP or SNTP, the offset is used to determine local time
from the UTC time provided by PTP or SNTP. PTP ALTERNATE_TIME_OFFSET_INDICATOR TLVs are not used in calculating local time.
The DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME (DST) settings can be used to allow the relay to follow the DST rules of the local time zone.
Note that when IRIG-B time synchronization is active, the local time in the IRIG-B signal contains any daylight savings time
offset and so the DST settings are ignored.

When enabled, this function monitors the pre-fault trigger. The pre-fault data are stored in the memory for prospective creation of the fault report on the rising edge of the pre-fault trigger. The element waits for the fault trigger as long as the prefault trigger is asserted, but not shorter than 1 second. When the fault trigger occurs, the fault data is stored and the complete report is created. If the fault trigger does not occur within 1 second after the pre-fault trigger drops out, the element
resets and no record is created.
The user programmable record contains the following information: the user-programmed relay name, detailed firmware
revision (7.0x, for example) and relay model (B30), the date and time of trigger, the name of pre-fault trigger (a specific
FlexLogic operand), the name of fault trigger (a specific FlexLogic operand), the active setting group at pre-fault trigger, the
active setting group at fault trigger, pre-fault values of all programmed analog channels (one cycle before pre-fault trigger),
and fault values of all programmed analog channels (at the fault trigger).
Each fault report is stored as a file to a maximum capacity of ten files. An eleventh trigger overwrites the oldest file. The
EnerVista UR Setup software is required to view all captured data. A FAULT RPT TRIG event is automatically created when
the report is triggered.
The relay includes two user-programmable fault reports to enable capture of two types of trips (for example, trip from thermal protection with the report configured to include temperatures, and short-circuit trip with the report configured to include
voltages and currents). Both reports feed the same report file queue.
The last record is available as individual data items via communications protocols.
PRE-FAULT 1 TRIGGER: Specifies the FlexLogic operand to capture the pre-fault data. The rising edge of this operand stores one cycle-old data for subsequent reporting. The element waits for the fault trigger to actually create a
record as long as the operand selected as PRE-FAULT 1 TRIGGER is On. If the operand remains Off for 1 second, the
element resets and no record is created.
FAULT 1 TRIGGER: Specifies the FlexLogic operand to capture the fault data. The rising edge of this operand stores
the data as fault data and results in a new report. The trigger (not the pre-fault trigger) controls the date and time of the
report.
FAULT REPORT 1 #1 to FAULT REPORT 1 #32: These settings specify an actual value such as voltage or current
magnitude, true RMS, phase angle, frequency, temperature, etc., to be stored should the report be created. Up to 32
channels can be configured. Two reports are configurable to cope with variety of trip conditions and items of interest.

The NUMBER OF RECORDS is selectable, but the number of cycles captured in a single record varies considerably based on
other factors such as sample rate and the number of operational modules. There is a fixed amount of data storage for oscillography; the more data captured, the less the number of cycles captured per record. See the ACTUAL VALUES

A new record may automatically overwrite an older record if TRIGGER MODE is set to Automatic Overwrite.
Set the TRIGGER POSITION to a percentage of the total buffer size (for example, 10%, 50%, 75%, etc.). A trigger position of
25% consists of 25% pre- and 75% post-trigger data. The TRIGGER SOURCE is always captured in oscillography and may be
any FlexLogic parameter (element state, contact input, virtual output, etc.). The relay sampling rate is 64 samples per cycle.
The AC INPUT WAVEFORMS setting determines the sampling rate at which AC input signals (that is, current and voltage) are
stored. Reducing the sampling rate allows longer records to be stored. This setting has no effect on the internal sampling
rate of the relay which is always 64 samples per cycle; that is, it has no effect on the fundamental calculations of the device.
When changes are made to the oscillography settings, all existing oscillography records will be CLEARED.

long as the control input is on, up to a maximum of 1 minute. After 1 minute, the test will end.
2.
All the LEDs are turned off, and then one LED at a time turns on for 1 second, then back off. The test routine starts at
the top left panel, moving from the top to bottom of each LED column. This test checks for hardware failures that lead
to more than one LED being turned on from a single logic point. This stage can be interrupted at any time.

When testing is in progress, the LEDs are controlled by the test sequence, rather than the protection, control, and monitoring features. However, the LED control mechanism accepts all the changes to LED states generated by the relay and
stores the actual LED states (on or off) in memory. When the test completes, the LEDs reflect the actual state resulting from
relay response during testing. The reset pushbutton will not clear any targets when the LED Test is in progress.

Control pushbuttons are not typically used for critical operations and are not protected by the control password. However,
by supervising their output operands, the user can dynamically enable or disable control pushbuttons for security reasons.
Each control pushbutton asserts its own FlexLogic operand. These operands should be configured appropriately to perform
the desired function. The operand remains asserted as long as the pushbutton is pressed and resets when the pushbutton
is released. A dropout delay of 100 ms is incorporated to ensure fast pushbutton manipulation will be recognized by various
features that may use control pushbuttons as inputs.
An event is logged in the event record (as per user setting) when a control pushbutton is pressed. No event is logged when
the pushbutton is released. The faceplate keys (including control keys) cannot be operated simultaneously a given key
must be released before the next one can be pressed.

The optional user-programmable pushbuttons (specified in the order code) provide an easy and error-free method of entering digital state (on, off) information. The number of available pushbuttons is dependent on the faceplate module ordered
with the relay.
Type P faceplate: standard horizontal faceplate with 12 user-programmable pushbuttons.
Type Q faceplate: enhanced horizontal faceplate with 16 user-programmable pushbuttons.
The digital state can be entered locally (by directly pressing the front panel pushbutton) or remotely (via FlexLogic operands) into FlexLogic equations, protection elements, and control elements. Typical applications include breaker control,
autorecloser blocking, and setting groups changes. The user-programmable pushbuttons are under the control level of
password protection.

Both the standard and enhanced faceplate pushbuttons can be custom labeled with a factory-provided template, available
online at http://www.gedigitalenergy.com/multilin. The EnerVista UR Setup software can also be used to create labels for
the enhanced faceplate.
Each pushbutton asserts its own On and Off FlexLogic operands (for example, PUSHBUTTON 1 ON and PUSHBUTTON 1
OFF). These operands are available for each pushbutton and are used to program specific actions. If any pushbutton is
active, the ANY PB ON operand will be asserted.
Each pushbutton has an associated LED indicator. By default, this indicator displays the present status of the corresponding pushbutton (on or off). However, each LED indicator can be assigned to any FlexLogic operand through the PUSHBTN 1
LED CTL setting.
The pushbuttons can be automatically controlled by activating the operands assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 SET (for latched and
self-reset mode) and PUSHBTN 1 RESET (for latched mode only) settings. The pushbutton reset status is declared when the
PUSHBUTTON 1 OFF operand is asserted. The activation and deactivation of user-programmable pushbuttons is dependent
on whether latched or self-reset mode is programmed.
Latched mode: In latched mode, a pushbutton can be set (activated) by asserting the operand assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 SET setting or by directly pressing the associated front panel pushbutton. The pushbutton maintains the set state
until deactivated by the reset command or after a user-specified time delay. The state of each pushbutton is stored in
non-volatile memory and maintained through a loss of control power.
The pushbutton is reset (deactivated) in latched mode by asserting the operand assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 RESET setting or by directly pressing the associated active front panel pushbutton.

It can also be programmed to reset automatically through the PUSHBTN 1 AUTORST and PUSHBTN 1 AUTORST DELAY settings. These settings enable the autoreset timer and specify the associated time delay. The autoreset timer can be
used in select-before-operate (SBO) breaker control applications, where the command type (close/open) or breaker
location (feeder number) must be selected prior to command execution. The selection must reset automatically if control is not executed within a specified time period.
Self-reset mode: In self-reset mode, a pushbutton will remain active for the time it is pressed (the pulse duration) plus
the dropout time specified in the PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME setting. If the pushbutton is activated via FlexLogic, the
pulse duration is specified by the PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME only. The time the operand remains assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 SET setting has no effect on the pulse duration.
The pushbutton is reset (deactivated) in self-reset mode when the dropout delay specified in the PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT
setting expires.
TIME
NOTE
The pulse duration of the remote set, remote reset, or local pushbutton must be at least 50 ms to operate the pushbutton. This allows the user-programmable pushbuttons to properly operate during power cycling events and various system disturbances that may cause transient assertion of the operating signals.
The local and remote operation of each user-programmable pushbutton can be inhibited through the PUSHBTN 1 LOCAL and
PUSHBTN 1 REMOTE settings, respectively. If local locking is applied, the pushbutton will ignore set and reset commands
executed through the front panel pushbuttons. If remote locking is applied, the pushbutton will ignore set and reset commands executed through FlexLogic operands.
The locking functions are not applied to the autorestart feature. In this case, the inhibit function can be used in SBO control
operations to prevent the pushbutton function from being activated and ensuring one-at-a-time select operation.
The locking functions can also be used to prevent the accidental pressing of the front panel pushbuttons. The separate
inhibit of the local and remote operation simplifies the implementation of local/remote control supervision.
Pushbutton states can be logged by the event recorder and displayed as target messages. In latched mode, user-defined
messages can also be associated with each pushbutton and displayed when the pushbutton is on or changing to off.
PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION: This setting selects the characteristic of the pushbutton. If set to Disabled, the pushbutton is not active and the corresponding FlexLogic operands (both On and Off) are de-asserted. If set to SelfReset, the control logic is activated by the pulse (longer than 100 ms) issued when the pushbutton is being physically
pressed or virtually pressed via a FlexLogic operand assigned to the PUSHBTN 1 SET setting.
When in Self-Reset mode and activated locally, the pushbutton control logic asserts the On corresponding FlexLogic operand as long as the pushbutton is being physically pressed, and after being released the deactivation of the
operand is delayed by the drop out timer. The Off operand is asserted when the pushbutton element is deactivated. If
the pushbutton is activated remotely, the control logic of the pushbutton asserts the corresponding On FlexLogic
operand only for the time period specified by the PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME setting.
If set to Latched, the control logic alternates the state of the corresponding FlexLogic operand between On and Off
on each button press or by virtually activating the pushbutton (assigning set and reset operands). When in the
Latched mode, the states of the FlexLogic operands are stored in a non-volatile memory. Should the power supply be
lost, the correct state of the pushbutton is retained upon subsequent power up of the relay.
PUSHBTN 1 ID TEXT: This setting specifies the top 20-character line of the user-programmable message and is
intended to provide ID information of the pushbutton. Refer to the User-definable displays section for instructions on
how to enter alphanumeric characters from the keypad.
PUSHBTN 1 ON TEXT: This setting specifies the bottom 20-character line of the user-programmable message and is
displayed when the pushbutton is in the on position. Refer to the User-definable displays section for instructions on
entering alphanumeric characters from the keypad.
PUSHBTN 1 OFF TEXT: This setting specifies the bottom 20-character line of the user-programmable message and is
displayed when the pushbutton is activated from the on to the off position and the PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION is
Latched. This message is not displayed when the PUSHBUTTON 1 FUNCTION is Self-reset as the pushbutton operand
status is implied to be Off upon its release. The length of the Off message is configured with the PRODUCT SETUP
DISPLAY PROPERTIES FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting.
PUSHBTN 1 HOLD: This setting specifies the time required for a pushbutton to be pressed before it is deemed active.
This timer is reset upon release of the pushbutton. Note that any pushbutton operation will require the pushbutton to be
pressed a minimum of 50 ms. This minimum time is required prior to activating the pushbutton hold timer.

PUSHBTN 1 LOCAL: This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to inhibit pushbutton operation from the front
panel pushbuttons. This locking functionality is not applicable to pushbutton autoreset.
PUSHBTN 1 DROP-OUT TIME: This setting applies only to Self-Reset mode and specifies the duration of the pushbutton active status after the pushbutton has been released. When activated remotely, this setting specifies the entire
activation time of the pushbutton status; the length of time the operand remains on has no effect on the pulse duration.
This setting is required to set the duration of the pushbutton operating pulse.
PUSHBTN 1 LED CTL: This setting assigns the FlexLogic operand serving to drive pushbutton LED. If this setting is
Off, then LED operation is directly linked to PUSHBUTTON 1 ON operand.
PUSHBTN 1 MESSAGE: If pushbutton message is set to High Priority, the message programmed in the PUSHBTN 1
and PUSHBTN 1 ON TEXT settings will be displayed undisturbed as long as PUSHBUTTON 1 ON operand is asserted.
The high priority option is not applicable to the PUSHBTN 1 OFF TEXT setting.

Once programmed, the user-definable displays can be viewed in two ways.
KEYPAD: Use the MENU key to select the USER DISPLAYS menu item to access the first user-definable display (note
that only the programmed screens are displayed). The screens can be scrolled using the UP and DOWN keys. The
display disappears after the default message time-out period specified by the PRODUCT SETUP DISPLAY PROPERTIES DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT setting.
USER-PROGRAMMABLE CONTROL INPUT: The user-definable displays also respond to the INVOKE AND SCROLL
setting. Any FlexLogic operand (in particular, the user-programmable pushbutton operands), can be used to navigate
the programmed displays.
On the rising edge of the configured operand (such as when the pushbutton is pressed), the displays are invoked by
showing the last user-definable display shown during the previous activity. From this moment onward, the operand
acts exactly as the down key and allows scrolling through the configured displays. The last display wraps up to the first
one. The INVOKE AND SCROLL input and the DOWN key operate concurrently.
When the default timer expires (set by the DEFAULT MESSAGE TIMEOUT setting), the relay will start to cycle through the
user displays. The next activity of the INVOKE AND SCROLL input stops the cycling at the currently displayed user display, not at the first user-defined display. The INVOKE AND SCROLL pulses must last for at least 250 ms to take effect.

5.2 PRODUCT SETUP
Direct inputs and outputs are intended for exchange of status information (inputs and outputs) between UR-series relays
connected directly via type 7 digital communications cards. The mechanism is very similar to IEC 61850 GSSE, except that
communications takes place over a non-switchable isolated network and is optimized for speed. On type 7 cards that support two channels, direct output messages are sent from both channels simultaneously. This effectively sends direct output
messages both ways around a ring configuration. On type 7 cards that support one channel, direct output messages are
sent only in one direction. Messages will be resent (forwarded) when it is determined that the message did not originate at
the receiver.
Direct output message timing is similar to GSSE message timing. Integrity messages (with no state changes) are sent at
least every 1000 ms. Messages with state changes are sent within the main pass scanning the inputs and asserting the
outputs unless the communication channel bandwidth has been exceeded. Two self-tests are performed and signaled by
the following FlexLogic operands:
1.
DIRECT RING BREAK (direct input/output ring break). This FlexLogic operand indicates that direct output messages
sent from a UR-series relay are not being received back by the relay.
2.
DIRECT DEVICE 1 OFF to DIRECT DEVICE 16 OFF (direct device offline). These FlexLogic operands indicate that direct
output messages from at least one direct device are not being received.
Direct input and output settings are similar to remote input and output settings. The equivalent of the remote device name
strings for direct inputs and outputs is the DIRECT OUTPUT DEVICE ID. The DIRECT OUTPUT DEVICE ID setting identifies the
relay in all direct output messages. All UR-series IEDs in a ring should have unique numbers assigned. The IED ID is used
to identify the sender of the direct input and output message.
If the direct input and output scheme is configured to operate in a ring (DIRECT I/O CH1 RING CONFIGURATION or DIRECT I/O
is Yes), all direct output messages should be received back. If not, the direct input/output ring
break self-test is triggered. The self-test error is signaled by the DIRECT RING BREAK FlexLogic operand.
CH2 RING CONFIGURATION
Select the DIRECT I/O DATA RATE to match the data capabilities of the communications channel. All IEDs communicating
over direct inputs and outputs must be set to the same data rate. UR-series IEDs equipped with dual-channel communications cards apply the same data rate to both channels. Delivery time for direct input and output messages is approximately
0.2 of a power system cycle at 128 kbps and 0.4 of a power system cycle at 64 kbps, per each bridge.

NOTE
The DIRECT I/O CHANNEL CROSSOVER setting applies to B30s with dual-channel communication cards and allows crossing
over messages from channel 1 to channel 2. This places all UR-series IEDs into one direct input and output network
regardless of the physical media of the two communication channels.
The following application examples illustrate the basic concepts for direct input and output configuration. Please refer to the

EXAMPLE 1: EXTENDING THE INPUT/OUTPUT CAPABILITIES OF A UR-SERIES RELAY

Consider an application that requires additional quantities of digital inputs or output contacts or lines of programmable logic
that exceed the capabilities of a single UR-series chassis. The problem is solved by adding an extra UR-series IED, such
as the C30, to satisfy the additional input and output and programmable logic requirements. The two IEDs are connected
via single-channel digital communication cards as shown in the figure below.

The message delivery time is about 0.2 of power cycle in both ways (at 128 kbps); that is, from device 1 to device 2, and
from device 2 to device 1. Different communications cards can be selected by the user for this back-to-back connection (for
example: fiber, G.703, or RS422).
EXAMPLE 2: INTERLOCKING BUSBAR PROTECTION
A simple interlocking busbar protection scheme could be accomplished by sending a blocking signal from downstream
devices, say 2, 3, and 4, to the upstream device that monitors a single incomer of the busbar, as shown below.

Message delivery time is approximately 0.2 of power system cycle (at 128 kbps) times number of bridges between the origin and destination. Dual-ring configuration effectively reduces the maximum communications distance by a factor of two.
In this configuration the following delivery times are expected (at 128 kbps) if both rings are healthy:
IED 1 to IED 2: 0.2 of power system cycle;
IED 3 to IED 4: 0.2 of power system cycle.
If one ring is broken (say TX2-RX2) the delivery times are as follows:
A coordinating timer for this bus protection scheme could be selected to cover the worst case scenario (0.4 of a power system cycle). Upon detecting a broken ring, the coordination time should be adaptively increased to 0.6 of a power system
cycle. The complete application requires addressing a number of issues such as failure of both the communications rings,
failure or out-of-service conditions of one of the relays, etc. Self-monitoring flags of the direct inputs and outputs feature
would be primarily used to address these concerns.

The B30 checks integrity of the incoming direct input and output messages using a 32-bit CRC. The CRC alarm function is

monitoring function counts all incoming messages, including messages that failed the CRC check. A separate counter adds
up messages that failed the CRC check. When the failed CRC counter reaches the user-defined level specified by the CRC
ALARM CH1 THRESHOLD setting within the user-defined message count CRC ALARM 1 CH1 COUNT, the DIR IO CH1 CRC ALARM

The CRC alarm function is available on a per-channel basis. The total number of direct input and output messages that
failed the CRC check is available as the ACTUAL VALUES STATUS DIRECT INPUTS CRC FAIL COUNT CH1 actual
value.
Message count and length of the monitoring window: To monitor communications integrity, the relay sends 1 message
per second (at 64 kbps) or 2 messages per second (128 kbps) even if there is no change in the direct outputs. For
example, setting the CRC ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT to 10000, corresponds a time window of about 160 minutes at
64 kbps and 80 minutes at 128 kbps. If the messages are sent faster as a result of direct outputs activity, the monitoring time interval will shorten. This should be taken into account when determining the CRC ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT
setting. For example, if the requirement is a maximum monitoring time interval of 10 minutes at 64 kbps, then the CRC
ALARM CH1 MESSAGE COUNT should be set to 10 60 1 = 600.
Correlation of failed CRC and bit error rate (BER): The CRC check may fail if one or more bits in a packet are corrupted. Therefore, an exact correlation between the CRC fail rate and the BER is not possible. Under certain assumptions an approximation can be made as follows. A direct input and output packet containing 20 bytes results in 160 bits
of data being sent and therefore, a transmission of 63 packets is equivalent to 10,000 bits. A BER of 104 implies 1 bit
error for every 10000 bits sent or received. Assuming the best case of only 1 bit error in a failed packet, having 1 failed
packet for every 63 received is about equal to a BER of 104.

TELEPROTECTION
Digital teleprotection functionality is designed to transfer protection commands between two or three relays in a secure,
fast, dependable, and deterministic fashion. Possible applications are permissive or blocking pilot schemes and direct
transfer trip (DTT). Teleprotection can be applied over any analog or digital channels and any communications media, such
as direct fiber, copper wires, optical networks, or microwave radio links. A mixture of communication media is possible.
Once teleprotection is enabled and the teleprotection input/outputs are configured, data packets are transmitted continuously every 1/4 cycle (3/8 cycle if using C37.94 modules) from peer-to-peer. Security of communication channel data is
achieved by using CRC-32 on the data packet.
NOTE
Teleprotection inputs/outputs and direct inputs/outputs are mutually exclusive as such, they cannot be used
simultaneously. Once teleprotection inputs and outputs are enabled, direct inputs and outputs are blocked, and vice
versa.
NUMBER OF TERMINALS: Specifies whether the teleprotection system operates between two peers or three peers.
NUMBER OF CHANNELS: Specifies how many channels are used. If the NUMBER OF TERMINALS is 3 (three-terminal
system), set the NUMBER OF CHANNELS to 2. For a two-terminal system, the NUMBER OF CHANNELS can set to 1 or
2 (redundant channels).
LOCAL RELAY ID NUMBER, TERMINAL 1 RELAY ID NUMBER, and TERMINAL 2 RELAY ID NUMBER: In installations that use multiplexers or modems, it is desirable to ensure that the data used by the relays protecting a given line
is from the correct relays. The teleprotection function performs this check by reading the message ID sent by transmitting relays and comparing it to the programmed ID in the receiving relay. This check is also used to block inputs if inadvertently set to loopback mode or data is being received from a wrong relay by checking the ID on a received channel.
If an incorrect ID is found on a channel during normal operation, the TELEPROT CH1 ID FAIL or TELEPROT CH2 ID FAIL
FlexLogic operand is set, driving the event with the same name and blocking the teleprotection inputs. For commissioning purposes, the result of channel identification is also shown in the STATUS CHANNEL TESTS VALIDITY OF
CHANNEL CONFIGURATION actual value. The default value of 0 for the LOCAL RELAY ID NUMBER indicates that relay ID
is not to be checked. On two- terminals two-channel systems, the same LOCAL RELAY ID NUMBER is transmitted over
both channels; as such, only the TERMINAL 1 ID NUMBER has to be programmed on the receiving end.

5.3.1 REMOTE RESOURCES CONFIGURATION
When B30 is ordered with a process card module as a part of HardFiber system, then an additional Remote Resources
menu tree is available in EnerVista UR Setup software to allow configuration of the HardFiber system.
Figure 521: REMOTE RESOURCES CONFIGURATION MENU
The remote resources settings configure a B30 with a process bus module to work with HardFiber Bricks. Remote
resources configuration is only available through the EnerVista UR Setup software, and is not available through the B30
front panel. A Brick provides eight AC measurements, along with contact inputs, DC analog inputs, and contact outputs, to
be the remote interface to field equipment such as circuit breakers and transformers. The B30 with a process bus module
has access to all of the capabilities of up to eight Bricks. Remote resources settings configure the point-to-point connection
between specific fiber optic ports on the B30 process card and specific Brick. The relay is then configured to measure specific currents, voltages and contact inputs from those Bricks, and to control specific outputs.
The configuration process for remote resources is straightforward and consists of the following steps.
Configure the field units. This establishes the point-to-point connection between a specific port on the relay process
bus module, and a specific digital core on a specific Brick. This is a necessary first step in configuring a process bus
relay.
Configure the AC banks. This sets the primary and secondary quantities and connections for currents and voltages.
AC bank configuration also provides a provision for redundant measurements for currents and voltages, a powerful
reliability improvement possible with process bus.
Configure signal sources. This functionality of the B30 has not changed other than the requirement to use currents and
voltages established by AC bank configuration under the remote resources menu.
Configure field contact inputs, field contact outputs, RTDs, and transducers as required for the application's functionality. These inputs and outputs are the physical interface to circuit breakers, transformers, and other equipment. They
replace the traditional contact inputs and outputs located at the relay to virtually eliminate copper wiring.
Configure shared inputs and outputs as required for the application's functionality. Shared inputs and outputs are distinct binary channels that provide high-speed protection quality signaling between relays through a Brick.

See the Introduction to AC Sources section at the beginning of this chapter for additional details.
These settings are critical for all features that have settings dependent on current measurements. When the relay is
ordered, the CT module must be specified to include a standard or sensitive ground input. As the phase CTs are connected
in wye (star), the calculated phasor sum of the three phase currents (IA + IB + IC = neutral current = 3Io) is used as the
input for the neutral overcurrent elements. In addition, a zero-sequence (core balance) CT which senses current in all of the
circuit primary conductors, or a CT in a neutral grounding conductor may also be used. For this configuration, the ground
CT primary rating must be entered. To detect low level ground fault currents, the sensitive ground input may be used. In this
case, the sensitive ground CT primary rating must be entered. Refer to chapter 3 for more details on CT connections.
Enter the rated CT primary current values. For both 1000:5 and 1000:1 CTs, the entry would be 1000. For correct operation, the CT secondary rating must match the setting (which must also correspond to the specific CT connections used).
The following example illustrates how multiple CT inputs (current banks) are summed as one source current. Given the following current banks:
F1: CT bank with 500:1 ratio.
F5: CT bank with 1000:1 ratio.
L1: CT bank with 800:1 ratio.
The following rule applies:

SRC 1 = F1 + F5 + L1
(EQ 5.3)
1 pu is the highest primary current. In this case, 1000 is entered and the secondary current from the 500:1 ratio CT will be
adjusted to that created by a 1000:1 CT before summation. If a protection element is set up to act on SRC 1 currents, then
a pickup level of 1 pu will operate on 1000 A primary.
The same rule applies for current sums from CTs with different secondary taps (5 A and 1 A).

The power system NOMINAL FREQUENCY value is used as a default to set the digital sampling rate if the system frequency
cannot be measured from available signals. This may happen if the signals are not present or are heavily distorted. Before
reverting to the nominal frequency, the frequency tracking algorithm holds the last valid frequency measurement for a safe
period of time while waiting for the signals to reappear or for the distortions to decay.
The phase sequence of the power system is required to properly calculate sequence components and power parameters.
The PHASE ROTATION setting matches the power system phase sequence. Note that this setting informs the relay of the
actual system phase sequence, either ABC or ACB. CT and VT inputs on the relay, labeled as A, B, and C, must be connected to system phases A, B, and C for correct operation.

5.4 SYSTEM SETUP
The FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE setting determines which signal source is used (and hence which AC signal) for
phase angle reference. The AC signal used is prioritized based on the AC inputs that are configured for the signal source:
phase voltages takes precedence, followed by auxiliary voltage, then phase currents, and finally ground current.
For three phase selection, phase A is used for angle referencing ( V ANGLE REF = V A ), while Clarke transformation of the
phase signals is used for frequency metering and tracking ( V FREQUENCY = 2V A V B V C 3 ) for better performance during fault, open pole, and VT and CT fail conditions.
The phase reference and frequency tracking AC signals are selected based upon the Source configuration, regardless of
whether or not a particular signal is actually applied to the relay.
Phase angle of the reference signal will always display zero degrees and all other phase angles will be relative to this signal. If the pre-selected reference signal is not measurable at a given time, the phase angles are not referenced.
The phase angle referencing is done via a phase locked loop, which can synchronize independent UR-series relays if they
have the same AC signal reference. This results in very precise correlation of phase angle indications between different
UR-series relays.

a particular CT/VT module. Refer to the Introduction to AC sources section at the beginning of this chapter for additional
details on this concept.
It is possible to select the sum of all CT combinations. The first channel displayed is the CT to which all others will be
referred. For example, the selection F1+F5 indicates the sum of each phase from channels F1 and F5, scaled to
whichever CT has the higher ratio. Selecting None hides the associated actual values.
The approach used to configure the AC sources consists of several steps; first step is to specify the information about each
CT and VT input. For CT inputs, this is the nominal primary and secondary current. For VTs, this is the connection type,
ratio and nominal secondary voltage. Once the inputs have been specified, the configuration for each source is entered,
including specifying which CTs will be summed together.

specifies the source, the second setting selects between fundamental phasor and RMS.
AC input actual values:
The calculated parameters associated with the configured voltage and current inputs are displayed in the current and voltage sections of actual values. Only the phasor quantities associated with the actual AC physical input channels will be displayed here.

A description of the operation of the breaker control and status monitoring features is provided in chapter 4. Only information concerning programming of the associated settings is covered here. These features are provided for two or more
breakers; a user may use only those portions of the design relevant to a single breaker, which must be breaker 1.
The number of breaker control elements is dependent on the number of CT/VT modules specified with the B30. The following settings are available for each breaker control element.
BREAKER 1 FUNCTION: This setting enables and disables the operation of the breaker control feature.
BREAKER1 PUSH BUTTON CONTROL: Set to Enable to allow faceplate push button operations.
BREAKER 1 NAME: Assign a user-defined name (up to six characters) to the breaker. This name will be used in flash
messages related to breaker 1.
BREAKER 1 MODE: This setting selects 3-Pole mode, where all breaker poles are operated simultaneously, or 1Pole mode where all breaker poles are operated either independently or simultaneously.
BREAKER 1 OPEN: This setting selects an operand that creates a programmable signal to operate an output relay to
open breaker 1.
BREAKER 1 BLK OPEN: This setting selects an operand that prevents opening of the breaker. This setting can be
used for select-before-operate functionality or to block operation from a panel switch or from SCADA.
BREAKER 1 CLOSE: This setting selects an operand that creates a programmable signal to operate an output relay
to close breaker 1.
BREAKER 1 BLK CLOSE: This setting selects an operand that prevents closing of the breaker. This setting can be
used for select-before-operate functionality or to block operation from a panel switch or from SCADA.
BREAKER 1 A/3P CLOSED: This setting selects an operand, usually a contact input connected to a breaker auxiliary position tracking mechanism. This input should be a normally-open 52/a status input to create a logic 1 when the
breaker is closed. If the BREAKER 1 MODE setting is selected as 3-Pole, this setting selects a single input as the operand used to track the breaker open or closed position. If the mode is selected as 1-Pole, the input mentioned above
is used to track phase A and the BREAKER 1 B and BREAKER 1 C settings select operands to track phases B and C,
respectively.
BREAKER 1 A/3P OPND: This setting selects an operand, usually a contact input, that should be a normally-closed
52/b status input to create a logic 1 when the breaker is open. If a separate 52/b contact input is not available, then the
inverted BREAKER 1 CLOSED status signal can be used.
BREAKER 1 B CLOSED: If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected
as single-pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase B closed position as above for phase A.
BREAKER 1 B OPENED: If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected
as single-pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase B opened position as above for phase A.
BREAKER 1 C CLOSED: If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected
as single-pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase C closed position as above for phase A.
BREAKER 1 C OPENED: If the mode is selected as three-pole, this setting has no function. If the mode is selected
as single-pole, this input is used to track the breaker phase C opened position as above for phase A.
BREAKER 1 Toperate: This setting specifies the required interval to overcome transient disagreement between the
52/a and 52/b auxiliary contacts during breaker operation. If transient disagreement still exists after this time has
expired, the BREAKER 1 BAD STATUS FlexLogic operand is asserted from alarm or blocking purposes.
BREAKER 1 EXT ALARM: This setting selects an operand, usually an external contact input, connected to a breaker
alarm reporting contact.
BREAKER 1 ALARM DELAY: This setting specifies the delay interval during which a disagreement of status among
the three-pole position tracking operands will not declare a pole disagreement. This allows for non-simultaneous operation of the poles.
MANUAL CLOSE RECAL1 TIME: This setting specifies the interval required to maintain setting changes in effect after
an operator has initiated a manual close command to operate a circuit breaker.
BREAKER 1 OUT OF SV: Selects an operand indicating that breaker 1 is out-of-service.

SWITCH 1
The disconnect switch element contains the auxiliary logic for status and serves as the interface for opening and closing of
disconnect switches from SCADA or through the front panel interface. The disconnect switch element can be used to create an interlocking functionality. For greater security in determination of the switch pole position, both the 52/a and 52/b
auxiliary contacts are used with reporting of the discrepancy between them. The number of available disconnect switches
depends on the number of the CT/VT modules ordered with the B30.
SWITCH 1 FUNCTION: This setting enables and disables the operation of the disconnect switch element.
SWITCH 1 NAME: Assign a user-defined name (up to six characters) to the disconnect switch. This name will be used
in flash messages related to disconnect switch 1.
SWITCH 1 MODE: This setting selects 3-Pole mode, where all disconnect switch poles are operated simultaneously,
or 1-Pole mode where all disconnect switch poles are operated either independently or simultaneously.

The relay using a given FlexCurve applies linear approximation for times between the user-entered points. Special
care must be applied when setting the two points that are close to the multiple of pickup of 1; that is, 0.98 pu and
1.03 pu. It is recommended to set the two times to a similar value; otherwise, the linear approximation may result in
undesired behavior for the operating quantity that is close to 1.00 pu.

5.4 SYSTEM SETUP
b) FLEXCURVE CONFIGURATION WITH ENERVISTA UR SETUP

The EnerVista UR Setup software allows for easy configuration and management of FlexCurves and their associated data
points. Prospective FlexCurves can be configured from a selection of standard curves to provide the best approximate fit,
then specific data points can be edited afterwards. Alternately, curve data can be imported from a specified file (.csv format)
by selecting the Import Data From EnerVista UR Setup setting.
Curves and data can be exported, viewed, and cleared by clicking the appropriate buttons. FlexCurves are customized by
editing the operating time (ms) values at pre-defined per-unit current multiples. Note that the pickup multiples start at zero
(implying the "reset time"), operating time below pickup, and operating time above pickup.
c) RECLOSER CURVE EDITING
Recloser curve selection is special in that recloser curves can be shaped into a composite curve with a minimum response
time and a fixed time above a specified pickup multiples. There are 41 recloser curve types supported. These definite operating times are useful to coordinate operating times, typically at higher currents and where upstream and downstream protective devices have different operating characteristics. The recloser curve configuration window shown below appears
when the Initialize From EnerVista UR Setup setting is set to Recloser Curve and the Initialize FlexCurve button is
clicked.
Multiplier: Scales (multiplies) the curve operating times
Addr: Adds the time specified in this field (in ms) to each
curve operating time value.
Minimum Response Time (MRT): If enabled, the MRT setting
defines the shortest operating time even if the curve suggests
a shorter time at higher current multiples. A composite operating
characteristic is effectively defined. For current multiples lower
than the intersection point, the curve dictates the operating time;
otherwise, the MRT does. An information message appears
when attempting to apply an MRT shorter than the minimum
curve time.
High Current Time: Allows the user to set a pickup multiple
from which point onwards the operating time is fixed. This is
normally only required at higher current levels. The HCT Ratio
defines the high current pickup multiple; the HCT defines the
operating time.
842721A1.CDR
Figure 526: RECLOSER CURVE INITIALIZATION

The multiplier and adder settings only affect the curve portion of the characteristic and not the MRT and HCT settings. The HCT settings override the MRT settings for multiples of pickup greater than the HCT ratio.

5.4 SYSTEM SETUP
5 SETTINGS
d) EXAMPLE
A composite curve can be created from the GE_111 standard with MRT = 200 ms and HCT initially disabled and then
enabled at eight (8) times pickup with an operating time of 30 ms. At approximately four (4) times pickup, the curve operating time is equal to the MRT and from then onwards the operating time remains at 200 ms (see below).
842719A1.CDR
Figure 527: COMPOSITE RECLOSER CURVE WITH HCT DISABLED

With the HCT feature enabled, the operating time reduces to 30 ms for pickup multiples exceeding 8 times pickup.
842720A1.CDR
Figure 528: COMPOSITE RECLOSER CURVE WITH HCT ENABLED

Configuring a composite curve with an increase in operating time at increased pickup multiples is not allowed. If this
is attempted, the EnerVista UR Setup software generates an error message and discards the proposed changes.

BUS ZONE 1
Two bus differential zones can be configured. The zone is associated with its own bus differential protection element and
CT trouble monitoring element.
The bus differential zone is defined by providing the names of sources whose currents bound the differential zone (refer to
settings BUS ZONE 1A SOURCE to BUS ZONE 1F SOURCE).
The connection status of a circuit with respect to the protected bus is dynamically provided by FlexLogic operands (BUS
to BUS ZONE 1F STATUS settings). A given operand should be "On" if the corresponding circuit is connected
to the bus. The operands are to be formed from the contact inputs that reflect positions of switches and/or breakers. If contact discrepancy filtering is needed, it should be accomplished using FlexLogic when forming the final status operands.
ZONE 1A STATUS
The status signal is meant to exclude a given current from the bus zone if the circuit is connected to a different bus section
and its non-zero values would upset the current balance causing a spurious differential signal. Therefore, it is not required
nor recommended to use the position of the breaker to control the status signal of a given circuit. If the breaker is opened,
the circuit may remain included in the bus differential zone as the zero current values are measured and used when calculating the differential signal. Dynamically excluding or including a given current during the breaker operation can cause
undesirable transients and race conditions for the relay algorithm.
If a given circuit cannot be connected to any other bus section different than the protected one, the FlexLogic constant "On"
is recommended for the status signal.

5.5.1 INTRODUCTION TO FLEXLOGIC
To provide maximum flexibility to the user, the arrangement of internal digital logic combines fixed and user-programmed
parameters. Logic upon which individual features are designed is fixed, and all other logic, from digital input signals through
elements or combinations of elements to digital outputs, is variable. The user has complete control of all variable logic
through FlexLogic. In general, the system receives analog and digital inputs which it uses to produce analog and digital outputs. The major sub-systems of a generic UR-series relay involved in this process are shown below.
Figure 537: UR ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW

The states of all digital signals used in the B30 are represented by flags (or FlexLogic operands, which are described later
in this section). A digital 1 is represented by a 'set' flag. Any external contact change-of-state can be used to block an element from operating, as an input to a control feature in a FlexLogic equation, or to operate a contact output. The state of the
contact input can be displayed locally or viewed remotely via the communications facilities provided. If a simple scheme
where a contact input is used to block an element is desired, this selection is made when programming the element. This
capability also applies to the other features that set flags: elements, virtual inputs, remote inputs, schemes, and human
operators.
If more complex logic than presented above is required, it is implemented via FlexLogic. For example, if it is desired to have
the closed state of contact input H7a and the operated state of the phase undervoltage element block the operation of the
phase time overcurrent element, the two control input states are programmed in a FlexLogic equation. This equation ANDs
the two control inputs to produce a virtual output which is then selected when programming the phase time overcurrent to
be used as a blocking input. Virtual outputs can only be created by FlexLogic equations.
Traditionally, protective relay logic has been relatively limited. Any unusual applications involving interlocks, blocking, or
supervisory functions had to be hard-wired using contact inputs and outputs. FlexLogic minimizes the requirement for auxiliary components and wiring while making more complex schemes possible.

5.5 FLEXLOGIC
The logic that determines the interaction of inputs, elements, schemes and outputs is field programmable through the use
of logic equations that are sequentially processed. The use of virtual inputs and outputs in addition to hardware is available
internally and on the communication ports for other relays to use (distributed FlexLogic).
FlexLogic allows users to customize the relay through a series of equations that consist of operators and operands. The
operands are the states of inputs, elements, schemes and outputs. The operators are logic gates, timers and latches (with
set and reset inputs). A system of sequential operations allows any combination of specified operands to be assigned as
inputs to specified operators to create an output. The final output of an equation is a numbered register called a virtual output. Virtual outputs can be used as an input operand in any equation, including the equation that generates the output, as a
seal-in or other type of feedback.
A FlexLogic equation consists of parameters that are either operands or operators. Operands have a logic state of 1 or 0.
Operators provide a defined function, such as an AND gate or a Timer. Each equation defines the combinations of parameters to be used to set a Virtual Output flag. Evaluation of an equation results in either a 1 (=ON, i.e. flag set) or 0 (=OFF, i.e.
flag not set). Each equation is evaluated at least 4 times every power system cycle.
Some types of operands are present in the relay in multiple instances; e.g. contact and remote inputs. These types of operands are grouped together (for presentation purposes only) on the faceplate display. The characteristics of the different
types of operands are listed in the table below.

NOTES
5.5.2 FLEXLOGIC RULES

When forming a FlexLogic equation, the sequence in the linear array of parameters must follow these general rules:
1.
Operands must precede the operator which uses the operands as inputs.
2.
Operators have only one output. The output of an operator must be used to create a virtual output if it is to be used as
an input to two or more operators.
3.
Assigning the output of an operator to a virtual output terminates the equation.
4.
A timer operator (for example, "TIMER 1") or virtual output assignment (for example, " = Virt Op 1") may only be used
once. If this rule is broken, a syntax error will be declared.
5.5.3 FLEXLOGIC EVALUATION
Each equation is evaluated in the order in which the parameters have been entered.
FlexLogic provides latches which by definition have a memory action, remaining in the set state after the set input
has been asserted. However, they are volatile; that is, they reset on the re-application of control power.
NOTE
When making changes to settings, all FlexLogic equations are re-compiled whenever any new setting value is
entered, so all latches are automatically reset. If it is necessary to re-initialize FlexLogic during testing, for example,
it is suggested to power the unit down and then back up.

5.5.4 FLEXLOGIC EXAMPLE
This section provides an example of implementing logic for a typical application. The sequence of the steps is quite important as it should minimize the work necessary to develop the relay settings. Note that the example presented in the figure
below is intended to demonstrate the procedure, not to solve a specific application situation.
In the example below, it is assumed that logic has already been programmed to produce virtual outputs 1 and 2, and is only
a part of the full set of equations used. When using FlexLogic, it is important to make a note of each virtual output used a
virtual output designation (1 to 96) can only be properly assigned once.

Figure 538: EXAMPLE LOGIC SCHEME
1.
Inspect the example logic diagram to determine if the required logic can be implemented with the FlexLogic operators.
If this is not possible, the logic must be altered until this condition is satisfied. Once this is done, count the inputs to
each gate to verify that the number of inputs does not exceed the FlexLogic limits, which is unlikely but possible. If the
number of inputs is too high, subdivide the inputs into multiple gates to produce an equivalent. For example, if 25
inputs to an AND gate are required, connect Inputs 1 through 16 to AND(16), 17 through 25 to AND(9), and the outputs
from these two gates to AND(2).
Inspect each operator between the initial operands and final virtual outputs to determine if the output from the operator
is used as an input to more than one following operator. If so, the operator output must be assigned as a virtual output.
For the example shown above, the output of the AND gate is used as an input to both OR#1 and Timer 1, and must
therefore be made a virtual output and assigned the next available number (i.e. Virtual Output 3). The final output must
also be assigned to a virtual output as virtual output 4, which will be programmed in the contact output section to operate relay H1 (that is, contact output H1).
Therefore, the required logic can be implemented with two FlexLogic equations with outputs of virtual output 3 and virtual output 4 as shown below.

Prepare a logic diagram for the equation to produce virtual output 3, as this output will be used as an operand in the
virtual output 4 equation (create the equation for every output that will be used as an operand first, so that when these
operands are required they will already have been evaluated and assigned to a specific virtual output). The logic for
virtual output 3 is shown below with the final output assigned.

Program the FlexLogic equation for virtual output 3 by translating the logic into available FlexLogic parameters. The
equation is formed one parameter at a time until the required logic is complete. It is generally easier to start at the output end of the equation and work back towards the input, as shown in the following steps. It is also recommended to list
operator inputs from bottom to top. For demonstration, the final output will be arbitrarily identified as parameter 99, and
each preceding parameter decremented by one in turn. Until accustomed to using FlexLogic, it is suggested that a
worksheet with a series of cells marked with the arbitrary parameter numbers be prepared, as shown below.

Following the procedure outlined, start with parameter 99, as follows:

99: The final output of the equation is virtual output 3, which is created by the operator "= Virt Op n". This parameter is
therefore "= Virt Op 3."
GE Multilin

5.5 FLEXLOGIC
5 SETTINGS
98: The gate preceding the output is an AND, which in this case requires two inputs. The operator for this gate is a 2input AND so the parameter is AND(2). Note that FlexLogic rules require that the number of inputs to most types
of operators must be specified to identify the operands for the gate. As the 2-input AND will operate on the two
operands preceding it, these inputs must be specified, starting with the lower.
97: This lower input to the AND gate must be passed through an inverter (the NOT operator) so the next parameter is
NOT. The NOT operator acts upon the operand immediately preceding it, so specify the inverter input next.
96: The input to the NOT gate is to be contact input H1c. The ON state of a contact input can be programmed to be
set when the contact is either open or closed. Assume for this example the state is to be ON for a closed contact.
The operand is therefore Cont Ip H1c On.
95: The last step in the procedure is to specify the upper input to the AND gate, the operated state of digital element 2.
This operand is "DIG ELEM 2 OP".
Writing the parameters in numerical order can now form the equation for virtual output 3:

[97]
[98]

Cont Ip H1c On

98: The operator preceding the output is timer 2, which is operand TIMER 2". Note that the settings required for the
timer are established in the timer programming section.
97: The operator preceding timer 2 is OR #2, a 3-input OR, which is parameter OR(3).
96: The lowest input to OR #2 is operand Cont Ip H1c On.
95: The center input to OR #2 is operand TIMER 1".

Now write the complete FlexLogic expression required to implement the logic, making an effort to assemble the equation in an order where Virtual Outputs that will be used as inputs to operators are created before needed. In cases
where a lot of processing is required to perform logic, this may be difficult to achieve, but in most cases will not cause
problems as all logic is calculated at least four times per power frequency cycle. The possibility of a problem caused by
sequential processing emphasizes the necessity to test the performance of FlexLogic before it is placed in service.
In the following equation, virtual output 3 is used as an input to both latch 1 and timer 1 as arranged in the order shown
below:

In the expression above, the virtual output 4 input to the four-input OR is listed before it is created. This is typical of a
form of feedback, in this case, used to create a seal-in effect with the latch, and is correct.
8.
The logic should always be tested after it is loaded into the relay, in the same fashion as has been used in the past.
Testing can be simplified by placing an "END" operator within the overall set of FlexLogic equations. The equations will
then only be evaluated up to the first "END" operator.
The "On" and "Off" operands can be placed in an equation to establish a known set of conditions for test purposes, and
the "INSERT" and "DELETE" commands can be used to modify equations.

A FlexElement is a universal comparator that can be used to monitor any analog actual value calculated by the relay or a
net difference of any two analog actual values of the same type. The effective operating signal could be treated as a signed
number or its absolute value could be used as per user's choice.
The element can be programmed to respond either to a signal level or to a rate-of-change (delta) over a pre-defined period
of time. The output operand is asserted when the operating signal is higher than a threshold or lower than a threshold as
per user's choice.

The FLEXELEMENT 1 +IN setting specifies the first (non-inverted) input to the FlexElement. Zero is assumed as the input if
this setting is set to Off. For proper operation of the element at least one input must be selected. Otherwise, the element
will not assert its output operands.
This FLEXELEMENT 1 IN setting specifies the second (inverted) input to the FlexElement. Zero is assumed as the input if
this setting is set to Off. For proper operation of the element at least one input must be selected. Otherwise, the element
will not assert its output operands. This input should be used to invert the signal if needed for convenience, or to make the
element respond to a differential signal such as for a top-bottom oil temperature differential alarm. The element will not
operate if the two input signals are of different types, for example if one tries to use active power and phase angle to build
the effective operating signal.
The element responds directly to the differential signal if the FLEXELEMENT 1 INPUT MODE setting is set to Signed. The element responds to the absolute value of the differential signal if this setting is set to Absolute. Sample applications for the
Absolute setting include monitoring the angular difference between two phasors with a symmetrical limit angle in both
directions; monitoring power regardless of its direction, or monitoring a trend regardless of whether the signal increases of
decreases.
The element responds directly to its operating signal as defined by the FLEXELEMENT 1 +IN, FLEXELEMENT 1 IN and FLEXELEMENT 1 INPUT MODE settings if the FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE setting is set to Level. The element responds to the
rate of change of its operating signal if the FLEXELEMENT 1 COMP MODE setting is set to Delta. In this case the FLEXELEMENT 1 dt UNIT and FLEXELEMENT 1 dt settings specify how the rate of change is derived.
The FLEXELEMENT 1 DIRECTION setting enables the relay to respond to either high or low values of the operating signal. The

to Over, the element picks up when the operating signal exceeds the FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP value. If set to Under, the
element picks up when the operating signal falls below the FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP value.
The FLEXELEMENT 1 HYSTERESIS setting controls the element dropout. It should be noticed that both the operating signal
and the pickup threshold can be negative facilitating applications such as reverse power alarm protection. The FlexElement
can be programmed to work with all analog actual values measured by the relay. The FLEXELEMENT 1 PICKUP setting is

5.6.1 OVERVIEW
Each protection element can be assigned up to six different sets of settings according to setting group designations 1 to 6.
The performance of these elements is defined by the active setting group at a given time. Multiple setting groups allow the
user to conveniently change protection settings for different operating situations (for example, altered power system configuration, season of the year, etc.). The active setting group can be preset or selected via the SETTING GROUPS menu (see the
Control elements section later in this chapter). See also the Introduction to elements section at the beginning of this chapter.

DIFFERENTIAL
Two zones of bus differential protection are provided. The operation of these elements is completely dependent on the
dynamic bus replica, which must be defined first. Both biased and unbiased bus differential protection functions are provided for the bus differential zone.
The biased bus differential function has a dual-slope operating characteristic (see figure below) operating in conjunction
with saturation detection and a directional comparison principle (refer to the Bus zone 1 differential scheme logic figure in
this section).

Figure 549: BIASED DIFFERENTIAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTIC

The protected zone input current with the highest magnitude is used as the restraining signal. Stability during heavy external faults is achieved by dynamic CT saturation detection and current flow direction supervision without affecting sensitivity
and speed of operation for internal faults.
The differential operating characteristic is divided into two regions. In the region of low differential currents and lower slope,
the element operates on a 2-out-of-2 basis, applying both the differential and current directional tests. In the region of high
differential currents, the element operates on a dynamic 1-out-of-2 / 2-out-of-2 basis. If the differential current is in this
region and CT saturation is detected, both the differential and current directional tests are applied. If CT saturation is ruled
out by the saturation detector, the differential protection principle alone is capable of causing the element to operate.
The saturation detector is an integral part of the bus differential element. It has no settings but uses some of the differential
characteristic parameters. The flags indicating CT saturation are available on a per phase basis as FlexLogic operands.
The directional principle is an integral part of the biased bus differential element and has no associated settings. The directional element dynamically identifies what appears to be the faulted circuit and compares its current angle with that of the
sum of the remaining currents of the protected zone. The element declares a bus fault if the angle is less than 90. Directional indicating flags signal operation on a per-phase basis and are available as FlexLogic operands.
The unbiased bus differential function checks the magnitude of the differential current against an adjustable threshold. Neither the bias nor the directional principles apply. The operation of the unbiased differential function is associated with separate output operands. More information can be found in the Theory of Operation chapter.
Operation of this element is completely dependent on the dynamic bus replica which must be first defined under bus zone
1. The bus differential element 1 protects the differential zone defined as bus zone 1.
BUS ZONE 1 DIFF PICKUP: This setting defines the minimum differential current required for operation of the biased
bus differential protection element. This setting is chosen based on the maximum magnitude of the differential current
that might be seen under no-load conditions. This setting prevents relay maloperation in the situation when the bus
carries little power and the restraining signal is too low to provide enough bias in the first slope region of the differential
characteristic.
This setting may also be set above the maximum load level to ensure security during CT trouble conditions. However,
voltage supervision or a check-zone are better alternatives.
BUS ZONE 1 DIFF LOW SLOPE: This setting defines the percentage bias for the restraining currents, from zero to the
lower breakpoint (LOW BPNT). This setting determines the sensitivity of the relay for low current internal faults. The
value chosen should be high enough to accommodate the spurious differential current resulting from inaccuracy of the
CTs operating in their linear mode, i.e. in load conditions and during distant external faults. When adjusting this setting,
it must be kept in mind that the restraining signal used by the biased bus differential protection element is created as
the maximum of all the input currents.
BUS ZONE 1 DIFF LOW BPNT: This setting defines the lower breakpoint of the dual-slope operating characteristic.
The percentage bias applied for the restraining current from zero to the value specified as LOW BPNT is given by the
5-120

setting. This setting should be set above the maximum load current. The LOW BPNT may be moved to the
AC current under which all the CTs are guaranteed to transform without saturation. This includes the effect of residual
magnetism. When adjusting this setting, it must be kept in mind that the restraining signal is created as the maximum
of all the input currents.
LOW SLOPE
BUS ZONE 1 DIFF HIGH SLOPE: This setting defines the percentage bias for the restraining currents above the
higher breakpoint (HIGH BPNT). This setting affects stability of the relay for heavy external faults. Traditionally, the
value chosen for this setting should be high enough to accommodate the spurious differential current resulting from
saturation of the CTs during heavy external faults. This requirement may be considerably relaxed in favor of sensitivity
and speed of operation as the relay detects CT saturation and upon detection applies the directional principle to prevent maloperation. When adjusting this setting, it must be kept in mind that the restraining signal is created as the maximum of all the input currents.
BUS ZONE 1 DIFF HIGH BPNT: This setting defines the higher breakpoint of the dual-slope operating characteristic.
The percentage bias applied for the restraining current above the value specified as HIGH BPNT is given by the HIGH
SLOPE setting. The HIGH BPNT setting should be set below the minimum AC current that is likely to saturate the weakest CT feeding the relay. When adjusting this setting, it must be kept in that mind the restraining signal is created as the
maximum of all the input currents.
The dual-slope operating characteristic of the biased bus differential protection element is shaped to ensure true percentage bias for high restraining currents (see the following figure). This means that the straight line defining the upper
slope intersects the origin of the differential-restraining plane and a discontinuity appears between the low and high
slope regions (between the LOW BPNT and HIGH BPNT settings). This discontinuity is handled by approximating the
operate/no-operate boundary of the characteristic using a certain gluing function. This ensures smooth transition of
the slope from LOW SLOPE (lower value) to HIGH SLOPE (higher value).
The following parameters of the biased operating characteristic are used by the saturation detector: LOW SLOPE, HIGH
and HIGH BPNT. The saturation detector uses these settings to detect specific relations between the differential
and restraining currents. The values of these settings should be selected based on the aforementioned criteria related
to the art of bus differential protection.
SLOPE,
BUS ZONE 1 DIFF HIGH SET: This setting defines the minimum differential current required for operation of the unbiased bus differential protection function. This setting is based on the maximum magnitude of the differential current
that might be seen during heavy external faults causing deep CT saturation. When selecting this setting, keep in mind
that the unbiased bus differential protection function uses the full-cycle Fourier measuring algorithm and applies it to
pre-filtered samples of the input currents. As a result, the transient measuring errors including the effect of the DC
component are below 2%. During heavy CT saturation when the currents are significantly distorted, the magnitude of
the differential current as measured by the relay and used by the unbiased bus differential function is significantly lower
than both the peak values of the waveform and the true RMS value. The measured magnitude practically reflects the
power system frequency component alone. This allows for lower values of the HIGH SET setting.
The unbiased (high set) differential function can be virtually disabled by setting its operating threshold, HIGH SET, very
high.
BUS ZONE 1 DIFF SEAL-IN: This setting defines the drop-out time of the seal-in timer applied to the BUS 1 OP FlexLogic operand.
More information on the bus zone differential settings can be found in the Application of settings chapter.

The inverse time overcurrent curves used by the time overcurrent elements are the IEEE, IEC, GE Type IAC, and I2t standard curve shapes. This allows for simplified coordination with downstream devices.
If none of these curve shapes is adequate, FlexCurves may be used to customize the inverse time curve characteristics.
The definite time curve is also an option that may be appropriate if only simple protection is required.

Definite Time
A time dial multiplier setting allows selection of a multiple of the base curve shape (where the time dial multiplier = 1) with
the curve shape (CURVE) setting. Unlike the electromechanical time dial equivalent, operate times are directly proportional
to the time multiplier (TD MULTIPLIER) setting value. For example, all times for a multiplier of 10 are 10 times the multiplier 1
or base curve values. Setting the multiplier to zero results in an instantaneous response to all current levels above pickup.
Time overcurrent time calculations are made with an internal energy capacity memory variable. When this variable indicates that the energy capacity has reached 100%, a time overcurrent element will operate. If less than 100% energy capacity is accumulated in this variable and the current falls below the dropout threshold of 97 to 98% of the pickup value, the
variable must be reduced. Two methods of this resetting operation are available: Instantaneous and Timed. The Instantaneous selection is intended for applications with other relays, such as most static relays, which set the energy capacity
directly to zero when the current falls below the reset threshold. The Timed selection can be used where the relay must
coordinate with electromechanical relays.

FLEXCURVES:
The custom FlexCurves are described in detail in the FlexCurves section of this chapter. The curve shapes for the FlexCurves are derived from the formulae:
I
T = TDM FlexCurve Time at ----------------
I pickup
I
when ---------------- 1.00
I pickup
I
T RESET = TDM FlexCurve Time at ----------------
I pickup
where:
I
when ---------------- 0.98

(EQ 5.8)
(EQ 5.9)
T = Operate Time (sec.), TDM = Multiplier setting

I = Input Current, Ipickup = Pickup Current setting
TRESET = Reset Time in seconds (assuming energy capacity is 100% and RESET: Timed)
DEFINITE TIME CURVE:

The Definite Time curve shape operates as soon as the pickup level is exceeded for a specified period of time. The base
definite time curve delay is in seconds. The curve multiplier of 0.00 to 600.00 makes this delay adjustable from instantaneous to 600.00 seconds in steps of 10 ms.
where:
T = TDM in seconds, when I I pickup

T = Operate Time (sec.), TDM = Multiplier setting

I = Input Current, Ipickup = Pickup Current setting
TRESET = Reset Time in seconds (assuming energy capacity is 100% and RESET: Timed)
RECLOSER CURVES:
The B30 uses the FlexCurve feature to facilitate programming of 41 recloser curves. Please refer to the FlexCurve section

The phase time overcurrent element can provide a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied current or
be used as a simple definite time element. The phase current input quantities may be programmed as fundamental phasor
magnitude or total waveform RMS magnitude as required by the application.
Two methods of resetting operation are available: Timed and Instantaneous (refer to the Inverse Time overcurrent
curves characteristic sub-section earlier for details on curve setup, trip times, and reset operation). When the element is
blocked, the time accumulator will reset according to the reset characteristic. For example, if the element reset characteristic is set to Instantaneous and the element is blocked, the time accumulator will be cleared immediately.
The PHASE TOC1 PICKUP setting can be dynamically reduced by a voltage restraint feature (when enabled). This is accomplished via the multipliers (Mvr) corresponding to the phase-phase voltages of the voltage restraint characteristic curve (see
the figure below); the pickup level is calculated as Mvr times the PHASE TOC1 PICKUP setting. If the voltage restraint feature
is disabled, the pickup level always remains at the setting value.

Six instantaneous overcurrent elements facilitate applications including an external check zone function. For bus configurations of up to five feeders, each with a second set of CTs, a check zone can be implemented by externally summing currents from the independent sets of CTs and connecting the resulting differential current to the sixth current input. In this
case, one element monitors the independently formed differential current and supervises the differential protection.
If applied, the overcurrent function responding to the independently formed differential signal should be used to supervise
the output from the main differential protection with a FlexLogic AND gate before driving the output contact. It is not recommended to use the drop-out operand of the overcurrent function as the block input to the differential element. The differential element includes the saturation detector that responds to specific time relationships between the differential and
restraining currents, and therefore, it must be operational all the time in order to function properly.
The phase instantaneous overcurrent element may be used as an instantaneous element with no intentional delay or as a
definite time element. The input current is the fundamental phasor magnitude. For timing curves, see the publication Instantaneous Overcurrent Element Response to Saturated Waveforms in UR-Series Relays (GET-8400A).

The neutral instantaneous overcurrent element may be used as an instantaneous function with no intentional delay or as a
definite time function. The element essentially responds to the magnitude of a neutral current fundamental frequency phasor calculated from the phase currents. A positive-sequence restraint is applied for better performance. A small portion
(6.25%) of the positive-sequence current magnitude is subtracted from the zero-sequence current magnitude when forming
the operating quantity of the element as follows:
I op = 3 I_0 K I_1 where K = 1 16
(EQ 5.12)
The positive-sequence restraint allows for more sensitive settings by counterbalancing spurious zero-sequence currents
resulting from:
System unbalances under heavy load conditions
Transformation errors of current transformers (CTs) during double-line and three-phase faults.
Switch-off transients during double-line and three-phase faults.

The positive-sequence restraint must be considered when testing for pickup accuracy and response time (multiple of
pickup). The operating quantity depends on how test currents are injected into the relay (single-phase injection:
I op = 0.9375 I injected ; three-phase pure zero-sequence injection: I op = 3 I injected ).

In general, a breaker failure scheme determines that a breaker signaled to trip has not cleared a fault within a definite time,
so further tripping action must be performed. Tripping from the breaker failure scheme should trip all breakers, both local
and remote, that can supply current to the faulted zone. Usually operation of a breaker failure element will cause clearing of
a larger section of the power system than the initial trip. Because breaker failure can result in tripping a large number of
breakers and this affects system safety and stability, a very high level of security is required.
Two schemes are provided: one for three-pole tripping only (identified by the name 3BF) and one for three pole plus single-pole operation (identified by the name 1BF). The philosophy used in these schemes is identical. The operation of a
breaker failure element includes three stages: initiation, determination of a breaker failure condition, and output.
GE Multilin
5-137
5 SETTINGS
INITIATION STAGE:
A FlexLogic operand representing the protection trip signal initially sent to the breaker must be selected to initiate the
scheme. The initiating signal should be sealed-in if primary fault detection can reset before the breaker failure timers have
finished timing. The seal-in is supervised by current level, so it is reset when the fault is cleared. If desired, an incomplete
sequence seal-in reset can be implemented by using the initiating operand to also initiate a FlexLogic timer, set longer than
any breaker failure timer, whose output operand is selected to block the breaker failure scheme.
Schemes can be initiated either directly or with current level supervision. It is particularly important in any application to
decide if a current-supervised initiate is to be used. The use of a current-supervised initiate results in the breaker failure element not being initiated for a breaker that has very little or no current flowing through it, which may be the case for transformer faults. For those situations where it is required to maintain breaker fail coverage for fault levels below the BF1 PH
AMP SUPV PICKUP or the BF1 N AMP SUPV PICKUP setting, a current supervised initiate should not be used. This feature
should be utilized for those situations where coordinating margins may be reduced when high speed reclosing is used.
Thus, if this choice is made, fault levels must always be above the supervision pickup levels for dependable operation of
the breaker fail scheme. This can also occur in breaker-and-a-half or ring bus configurations where the first breaker closes
into a fault; the protection trips and attempts to initiate breaker failure for the second breaker, which is in the process of
closing, but does not yet have current flowing through it.
When the scheme is initiated, it immediately sends a trip signal to the breaker initially signaled to trip (this feature is usually
described as re-trip). This reduces the possibility of widespread tripping that results from a declaration of a failed breaker.
DETERMINATION OF A BREAKER FAILURE CONDITION:
The schemes determine a breaker failure condition via three paths. Each of these paths is equipped with a time delay, after
which a failed breaker is declared and trip signals are sent to all breakers required to clear the zone. The delayed paths are
associated with breaker failure timers 1, 2, and 3, which are intended to have delays increasing with increasing timer numbers. These delayed paths are individually enabled to allow for maximum flexibility.
Timer 1 logic (early path) is supervised by a fast-operating breaker auxiliary contact. If the breaker is still closed (as indicated by the auxiliary contact) and fault current is detected after the delay interval, an output is issued. Operation of the
breaker auxiliary switch indicates that the breaker has mechanically operated. The continued presence of current indicates
that the breaker has failed to interrupt the circuit.
Timer 2 logic (main path) is not supervised by a breaker auxiliary contact. If fault current is detected after the delay interval,
an output is issued. This path is intended to detect a breaker that opens mechanically but fails to interrupt fault current; the
logic therefore does not use a breaker auxiliary contact.
The timer 1 and 2 paths provide two levels of current supervision, high-set and low-set, that allow the supervision level to
change from a current which flows before a breaker inserts an opening resistor into the faulted circuit to a lower level after
resistor insertion. The high-set detector is enabled after timeout of timer 1 or 2, along with a timer that will enable the lowset detector after its delay interval. The delay interval between high-set and low-set is the expected breaker opening time.
Both current detectors provide a fast operating time for currents at small multiples of the pickup value. The overcurrent
detectors are required to operate after the breaker failure delay interval to eliminate the need for very fast resetting overcurrent detectors.
Timer 3 logic (slow path) is supervised by a breaker auxiliary contact and a control switch contact used to indicate that the
breaker is in or out-of-service, disabling this path when the breaker is out-of-service for maintenance. There is no current
level check in this logic as it is intended to detect low magnitude faults and it is therefore the slowest to operate.
OUTPUT:
The outputs from the schemes are:
FlexLogic operands that report on the operation of portions of the scheme
FlexLogic operand used to re-trip the protected breaker
FlexLogic operands that initiate tripping required to clear the faulted zone. The trip output can be sealed-in for an
adjustable period.

SETTINGS:
BF1 MODE: This setting is used to select the breaker failure operating mode: single or three pole.
BF1 USE AMP SUPV: If set to "Yes", the element will only be initiated if current flowing through the breaker is above
the supervision pickup level.
BF1 USE SEAL-IN: If set to "Yes", the element will only be sealed-in if current flowing through the breaker is above the
supervision pickup level.
BF1 3-POLE INITIATE: This setting selects the FlexLogic operand that will initiate three-pole tripping of the breaker.
BF1 PH AMP SUPV PICKUP: This setting is used to set the phase current initiation and seal-in supervision level.
Generally this setting should detect the lowest expected fault current on the protected breaker. It can be set as low as
necessary (lower than breaker resistor current or lower than load current) high-set and low-set current supervision
will guarantee correct operation.
BF1 N AMP SUPV PICKUP: This setting is used to set the neutral current initiate and seal-in supervision level. Generally this setting should detect the lowest expected fault current on the protected breaker. Neutral current supervision is
used only in the three phase scheme to provide increased sensitivity. This setting is valid only for three-pole tripping
schemes.
BF1 USE TIMER 1: If set to "Yes", the early path is operational.
BF1 TIMER 1 PICKUP DELAY: Timer 1 is set to the shortest time required for breaker auxiliary contact Status-1 to
open, from the time the initial trip signal is applied to the breaker trip circuit, plus a safety margin.
GE Multilin
5-139
5 SETTINGS
BF1 USE TIMER 2: If set to "Yes", the main path is operational.
BF1 TIMER 2 PICKUP DELAY: Timer 2 is set to the expected opening time of the breaker, plus a safety margin. This
safety margin was historically intended to allow for measuring and timing errors in the breaker failure scheme equipment. In microprocessor relays this time is not significant. In B30 relays, which use a Fourier transform, the calculated
current magnitude will ramp-down to zero one power frequency cycle after the current is interrupted, and this lag
should be included in the overall margin duration, as it occurs after current interruption. The Breaker failure main path
sequence diagram below shows a margin of two cycles; this interval is considered the minimum appropriate for most
applications.
Note that in bulk oil circuit breakers, the interrupting time for currents less than 25% of the interrupting rating can be
significantly longer than the normal interrupting time.
BF1 USE TIMER 3: If set to "Yes", the Slow Path is operational.
BF1 TIMER 3 PICKUP DELAY: Timer 3 is set to the same interval as timer 2, plus an increased safety margin.
Because this path is intended to operate only for low level faults, the delay can be in the order of 300 to 500 ms.
BF1 BKR POS1 A/3P: This setting selects the FlexLogic operand that represents the protected breaker early-type
auxiliary switch contact (52/a). When using the single-pole breaker failure scheme, this operand represents the protected breaker early-type auxiliary switch contact on pole A. This is normally a non-multiplied form-A contact. The contact may even be adjusted to have the shortest possible operating time.
BF1 BKR POS2 A/3P: This setting selects the FlexLogic operand that represents the breaker normal-type auxiliary
switch contact (52/a). When using the single-pole breaker failure scheme, this operand represents the protected
breaker auxiliary switch contact on pole A. This may be a multiplied contact.
BF1 BREAKER TEST ON: This setting is used to select the FlexLogic operand that represents the breaker in-service/
out-of-service switch set to the out-of-service position.
BF1 PH AMP HISET PICKUP: This setting sets the phase current output supervision level. Generally this setting
should detect the lowest expected fault current on the protected breaker, before a breaker opening resistor is inserted.
BF1 N AMP HISET PICKUP: This setting sets the neutral current output supervision level. Generally this setting
should detect the lowest expected fault current on the protected breaker, before a breaker opening resistor is inserted.
Neutral current supervision is used only in the three pole scheme to provide increased sensitivity. This setting is valid
only for three-pole breaker failure schemes.
BF1 PH AMP LOSET PICKUP: This setting sets the phase current output supervision level. Generally this setting
should detect the lowest expected fault current on the protected breaker, after a breaker opening resistor is inserted
(approximately 90% of the resistor current).
BF1 N AMP LOSET PICKUP: This setting sets the neutral current output supervision level. Generally this setting
should detect the lowest expected fault current on the protected breaker, after a breaker opening resistor is inserted
(approximately 90% of the resistor current). This setting is valid only for three-pole breaker failure schemes.
BF1 LOSET TIME DELAY: Sets the pickup delay for current detection after opening resistor insertion.
BF1 TRIP DROPOUT DELAY: This setting is used to set the period of time for which the trip output is sealed-in. This
timer must be coordinated with the automatic reclosing scheme of the failed breaker, to which the breaker failure element sends a cancel reclosure signal. Reclosure of a remote breaker can also be prevented by holding a transfer trip
signal on longer than the reclaim time.
BF1 PH A INITIATE / BF1 PH B INITIATE / BF 1 PH C INITIATE: These settings select the FlexLogic operand to initiate phase A, B, or C single-pole tripping of the breaker and the phase A, B, or C portion of the scheme, accordingly.
This setting is only valid for single-pole breaker failure schemes.
BF1 BKR POS1 B / BF1 BKR POS 1 C: These settings select the FlexLogic operand to represents the protected
breaker early-type auxiliary switch contact on poles B or C, accordingly. This contact is normally a non-multiplied FormA contact. The contact may even be adjusted to have the shortest possible operating time. This setting is valid only for
single-pole breaker failure schemes.
BF1 BKR POS2 B: Selects the FlexLogic operand that represents the protected breaker normal-type auxiliary switch
contact on pole B (52/a). This may be a multiplied contact. This setting is valid only for single-pole breaker failure
schemes.
BF1 BKR POS2 C: This setting selects the FlexLogic operand that represents the protected breaker normal-type
auxiliary switch contact on pole C (52/a). This may be a multiplied contact. For single-pole operation, the scheme has

the same overall general concept except that it provides re-tripping of each single pole of the protected breaker. The
approach shown in the following single pole tripping diagram uses the initiating information to determine which pole is
supposed to trip. The logic is segregated on a per-pole basis. The overcurrent detectors have ganged settings. This
setting is valid only for single-pole breaker failure schemes.
Upon operation of the breaker failure element for a single pole trip command, a three-pole trip command should be
given via output operand BKR FAIL 1 TRIP OP.

These protection elements can be used for a variety of applications such as:
Undervoltage Protection: For voltage sensitive loads, such as induction motors, a drop in voltage increases the
drawn current which may cause dangerous overheating in the motor. The undervoltage protection feature can be used
to either cause a trip or generate an alarm when the voltage drops below a specified voltage setting for a specified time
delay.
Permissive Functions: The undervoltage feature may be used to block the functioning of external devices by operating an output relay when the voltage falls below the specified voltage setting. The undervoltage feature may also be
used to block the functioning of other elements through the block feature of those elements.
Source Transfer Schemes: In the event of an undervoltage, a transfer signal may be generated to transfer a load
from its normal source to a standby or emergency power source.
The undervoltage elements can be programmed to have a definite time delay characteristic. The definite time curve operates when the voltage drops below the pickup level for a specified period of time. The time delay is adjustable from 0 to
600.00 seconds in steps of 0.01. The undervoltage elements can also be programmed to have an inverse time delay characteristic.
The undervoltage delay setting defines the family of curves shown below.

Two undervoltage elements facilitate applications including undervoltage supervision of the main bus differential protection
to prevent maloperation in the event of CT trouble.
5-146
GE Multilin
5 SETTINGS
In this scheme, the normal voltage level halts the differential element. An actual bus fault operates the undervoltage element, thereby permitting the differential element to operate. This can be applied for bus configurations of up to five feeders
with the voltage signal available. If applied, use the undervoltage function to supervise the main differential output with an
AND gate in the FlexLogic equation before driving the output contact.
Using the drop-out undervoltage operand as the Block input to the differential element is not recommended. The differential
element includes the saturation detector that responds to certain time relationships between the differential and restraining
currents, and therefore, it must be operational all the time in order to function properly.
This element may be used to give a desired time-delay operating characteristic versus the applied fundamental voltage
(phase-to-ground or phase-to-phase for wye VT connection, or phase-to-phase for delta VT connection) or as a definite
time element. The element resets instantaneously if the applied voltage exceeds the dropout voltage. The delay setting
selects the minimum operating time of the phase undervoltage. The minimum voltage setting selects the operating voltage
below which the element is blocked (a setting of 0 will allow a dead source to be considered a fault condition).

There are three neutral overvoltage elements available. The neutral overvoltage element can be used to detect asymmetrical system voltage condition due to a ground fault or to the loss of one or two phases of the source. The element responds
to the system neutral voltage (3V_0), calculated from the phase voltages. The nominal secondary voltage of the phase voltage channels entered under SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP AC INPUTS VOLTAGE BANK PHASE VT SECONDARY is the
p.u. base used when setting the pickup level.
The neutral overvoltage element can provide a time-delayed operating characteristic versus the applied voltage (initialized
from FlexCurves A, B, or C) or be used as a definite time element. The NEUTRAL OV1 PICKUP DELAY setting applies only if
the NEUTRAL OV1 CURVE setting is Definite time. The source assigned to this element must be configured for a phase VT.
VT errors and normal voltage unbalance must be considered when setting this element. This function requires the VTs to
be wye-connected.

The trip bus element allows aggregating outputs of protection and control elements without using FlexLogic and assigning
them a simple and effective manner. Each trip bus can be assigned for either trip or alarm actions. Simple trip conditioning
such as latch, delay, and seal-in delay are available.
The easiest way to assign element outputs to a trip bus is through the EnerVista UR Setup software A protection summary
is displayed by navigating to a specific protection or control protection element and checking the desired bus box. Once the
desired element is selected for a specific bus, a list of element operate-type operands are displayed and can be assigned
to a trip bus. If more than one operate-type operand is required, it may be assigned directly from the trip bus menu.

The setting groups menu controls the activation and deactivation of up to six possible groups of settings in the GROUPED
ELEMENTS settings menu. The faceplate Settings In Use LEDs indicate which active group (with a non-flashing energized
LED) is in service.
The SETTING GROUPS BLK setting prevents the active setting group from changing when the FlexLogic parameter is set to
"On". This can be useful in applications where it is undesirable to change the settings under certain conditions, such as the
breaker being open.
The GROUP 2 ACTIVATE ON to GROUP 6 ACTIVATE ON settings select a FlexLogic operand which, when set, will make the particular setting group active for use by any grouped element. A priority scheme ensures that only one group is active at a
given time the highest-numbered group which is activated by its ACTIVATE ON parameter takes priority over the lowernumbered groups. There is no activate on setting for group 1 (the default active group), because group 1 automatically
becomes active if no other group is active.
The SETTING GROUP 1 NAME to SETTING GROUP 6 NAME settings allows to user to assign a name to each of the six settings
groups. Once programmed, this name will appear on the second line of the GROUPED ELEMENTS SETTING GROUP 1(6)
menu display.
The relay can be set up via a FlexLogic equation to receive requests to activate or de-activate a particular non-default settings group. The following FlexLogic equation (see the figure below) illustrates requests via remote communications (for
example, VIRTUAL INPUT 1 ON) or from a local contact input (for example, CONTACT IP 1 ON) to initiate the use of a particular settings group, and requests from several overcurrent pickup measuring elements to inhibit the use of the particular settings group. The assigned VIRTUAL OUTPUT 1 operand is used to control the On state of a particular settings group.

The selector switch element is intended to replace a mechanical selector switch. Typical applications include setting group
control or control of multiple logic sub-circuits in user-programmable logic.
The element provides for two control inputs. The step-up control allows stepping through selector position one step at a
time with each pulse of the control input, such as a user-programmable pushbutton. The three-bit control input allows setting the selector to the position defined by a three-bit word.
The element allows pre-selecting a new position without applying it. The pre-selected position gets applied either after timeout or upon acknowledgement via separate inputs (user setting). The selector position is stored in non-volatile memory.
Upon power-up, either the previous position is restored or the relay synchronizes to the current three-bit word (user setting). Basic alarm functionality alerts the user under abnormal conditions; for example, the three-bit control input being out
of range.
SELECTOR 1 FULL RANGE: This setting defines the upper position of the selector. When stepping up through available positions of the selector, the upper position wraps up to the lower position (position 1). When using a direct threebit control word for programming the selector to a desired position, the change would take place only if the control word
is within the range of 1 to the SELECTOR FULL RANGE. If the control word is outside the range, an alarm is established
by setting the SELECTOR ALARM FlexLogic operand for 3 seconds.
SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT: This setting defines the time-out period for the selector. This value is used by the relay in
the following two ways. When the SELECTOR STEP-UP MODE is Time-out, the setting specifies the required period of
inactivity of the control input after which the pre-selected position is automatically applied. When the SELECTOR STEPUP MODE is Acknowledge, the setting specifies the period of time for the acknowledging input to appear. The timer is
re-started by any activity of the control input. The acknowledging input must come before the SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT
timer expires; otherwise, the change will not take place and an alarm will be set.
SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP: This setting specifies a control input for the selector switch. The switch is shifted to a new
position at each rising edge of this signal. The position changes incrementally, wrapping up from the last (SELECTOR 1
FULL RANGE) to the first (position 1). Consecutive pulses of this control operand must not occur faster than every
50 ms. After each rising edge of the assigned operand, the time-out timer is restarted and the SELECTOR SWITCH 1:
POS Z CHNG INITIATED target message is displayed, where Z the pre-selected position. The message is displayed for
the time specified by the FLASH MESSAGE TIME setting. The pre-selected position is applied after the selector times out
(Time-out mode), or when the acknowledging signal appears before the element times out (Acknowledge mode).
When the new position is applied, the relay displays the SELECTOR SWITCH 1: POSITION Z IN USE message. Typically,
a user-programmable pushbutton is configured as the stepping up control input.
SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP MODE: This setting defines the selector mode of operation. When set to Time-out, the
selector will change its position after a pre-defined period of inactivity at the control input. The change is automatic and
does not require any explicit confirmation of the intent to change the selector's position. When set to Acknowledge,
the selector will change its position only after the intent is confirmed through a separate acknowledging signal. If the
acknowledging signal does not appear within a pre-defined period of time, the selector does not accept the change
and an alarm is established by setting the SELECTOR STP ALARM output FlexLogic operand for 3 seconds.
SELECTOR 1 ACK: This setting specifies an acknowledging input for the stepping up control input. The pre-selected
position is applied on the rising edge of the assigned operand. This setting is active only under Acknowledge mode of
operation. The acknowledging signal must appear within the time defined by the SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT setting after the
last activity of the control input. A user-programmable pushbutton is typically configured as the acknowledging input.
SELECTOR 1 3BIT A0, A1, and A2: These settings specify a three-bit control input of the selector. The three-bit control word pre-selects the position using the following encoding convention:
5-154
A2
A1
A0
POSITION
rest
GE Multilin
5 SETTINGS
The rest position (0, 0, 0) does not generate an action and is intended for situations when the device generating the
three-bit control word is having a problem. When SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE is Time-out, the pre-selected position is
applied in SELECTOR 1 TIME-OUT seconds after the last activity of the three-bit input. When SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE is
Acknowledge, the pre-selected position is applied on the rising edge of the SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK acknowledging
input.
The stepping up control input (SELECTOR 1 STEP-UP) and the three-bit control inputs (SELECTOR 1 3BIT A0 through A2)
lock-out mutually: once the stepping up sequence is initiated, the three-bit control input is inactive; once the three-bit
control sequence is initiated, the stepping up input is inactive.
SELECTOR 1 3BIT MODE: This setting defines the selector mode of operation. When set to Time-out, the selector
changes its position after a pre-defined period of inactivity at the control input. The change is automatic and does not
require explicit confirmation to change the selector position. When set to Acknowledge, the selector changes its position only after confirmation via a separate acknowledging signal. If the acknowledging signal does not appear within a
pre-defined period of time, the selector rejects the change and an alarm established by invoking the SELECTOR BIT
ALARM FlexLogic operand for 3 seconds.
SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK: This setting specifies an acknowledging input for the three-bit control input. The preselected position is applied on the rising edge of the assigned FlexLogic operand. This setting is active only under the
Acknowledge mode of operation. The acknowledging signal must appear within the time defined by the SELECTOR
TIME-OUT setting after the last activity of the three-bit control inputs. Note that the stepping up control input and threebit control input have independent acknowledging signals (SELECTOR 1 ACK and SELECTOR 1 3BIT ACK, accordingly).
SELECTOR 1 POWER-UP MODE: This setting specifies the element behavior on power up of the relay.
When set to Restore, the last position of the selector (stored in the non-volatile memory) is restored after powering up
the relay. If the position restored from memory is out of range, position 0 (no output operand selected) is applied and
an alarm is set (SELECTOR 1 PWR ALARM).
When set to Synchronize selector switch acts as follows. For two power cycles, the selector applies position 0 to the
switch and activates SELECTOR 1 PWR ALARM. After two power cycles expire, the selector synchronizes to the position
dictated by the three-bit control input. This operation does not wait for time-out or the acknowledging input. When the
synchronization attempt is unsuccessful (that is, the three-bit input is not available (0,0,0) or out of range) then the
selector switch output is set to position 0 (no output operand selected) and an alarm is established (SELECTOR 1 PWR
ALARM).
The operation of Synch/Restore mode is similar to the Synchronize mode. The only difference is that after an
unsuccessful synchronization attempt, the switch will attempt to restore the position stored in the relay memory. The
Synch/Restore mode is useful for applications where the selector switch is employed to change the setting group in
redundant (two relay) protection schemes.

Op 1 VOn FlexLogic operand will be set (for contact input 1 corresponding operands exist for each contact output). If the
output circuit has a high resistance or the DC current is interrupted, the trickle current will drop below the threshold and the
Cont Op 1 VOff FlexLogic operand will be set. Consequently, the state of these operands can be used as indicators of the
integrity of the circuits in which form-A contacts are inserted.
EXAMPLE 1: BREAKER TRIP CIRCUIT INTEGRITY MONITORING
In many applications it is desired to monitor the breaker trip circuit integrity so problems can be detected before a trip operation is required. The circuit is considered to be healthy when the voltage monitor connected across the trip output contact
detects a low level of current, well below the operating current of the breaker trip coil. If the circuit presents a high resistance, the trickle current will fall below the monitor threshold and an alarm would be declared.
In most breaker control circuits, the trip coil is connected in series with a breaker auxiliary contact which is open when the
breaker is open (see diagram below). To prevent unwanted alarms in this situation, the trip circuit monitoring logic must
include the breaker position.

Assume the output contact H1 is a trip contact. Using the contact output settings, this output will be given an ID name; for
example, Cont Op 1". Assume a 52a breaker auxiliary contact is connected to contact input H7a to monitor breaker status.
Using the contact input settings, this input will be given an ID name, for example, Cont Ip 1", and will be set On when the
breaker is closed. The settings to use digital element 1 to monitor the breaker trip circuit are indicated below (EnerVista UR

EXAMPLE 2: BREAKER TRIP CIRCUIT INTEGRITY MONITORING

If it is required to monitor the trip circuit continuously, independent of the breaker position (open or closed), a method to
maintain the monitoring current flow through the trip circuit when the breaker is open must be provided (as shown in the figure below). This can be achieved by connecting a suitable resistor (see figure below) across the auxiliary contact in the trip
circuit. In this case, it is not required to supervise the monitoring circuit with the breaker position the BLOCK setting is
selected to Off. In this case, the settings are as follows (EnerVista UR Setup example shown).

There are 8 identical digital counters, numbered from 1 to 8. A digital counter counts the number of state transitions from
Logic 0 to Logic 1. The counter is used to count operations such as the pickups of an element, the changes of state of an
external contact (e.g. breaker auxiliary switch), or pulses from a watt-hour meter.
COUNTER 1 UNITS: Assigns a label to identify the unit of measure pertaining to the digital transitions to be counted.
The units label will appear in the corresponding actual values status.
COUNTER 1 PRESET: Sets the count to a required preset value before counting operations begin, as in the case
where a substitute relay is to be installed in place of an in-service relay, or while the counter is running.
COUNTER 1 COMPARE: Sets the value to which the accumulated count value is compared. Three FlexLogic output
operands are provided to indicate if the present value is more than (HI), equal to (EQL), or less than (LO) the set
value.
COUNTER 1 UP: Selects the FlexLogic operand for incrementing the counter. If an enabled UP input is received when
the accumulated value is at the limit of +2,147,483,647 counts, the counter will rollover to 2,147,483,648.
COUNTER 1 DOWN: Selects the FlexLogic operand for decrementing the counter. If an enabled DOWN input is

BREAKER
FLASHOVER 1
The detection of the breaker flashover is based on the following condition:

1.
Breaker open,
2.
Voltage difference drop, and
3.
Measured flashover current through the breaker.
Furthermore, the scheme is applicable for cases where either one or two sets of three-phase voltages are available across
the breaker.
GE Multilin

5 SETTINGS
THREE VT BREAKER FLASHOVER APPLICATION

When only one set of VTs is available across the breaker, the BRK 1 FLSHOVR SIDE 2 SRC setting should be None. To detect
an open breaker condition in this application, the scheme checks if the per-phase voltages were recovered (picked up), the
status of the breaker is open (contact input indicating the breaker status is off), and no flashover current is flowing. A contact showing the breaker status must be provided to the relay. The voltage difference will not be considered as a condition
for open breaker in this part of the logic.
NOTE
Voltages must be present prior to flashover conditions. If the three VTs are placed after the breaker on the line (or
feeder), and the downstream breaker is open, the measured voltage would be zero and the flashover element will
not be initiated.
The flashover detection will reset if the current drops back to zero, the breaker closes, or the selected FlexLogic operand
for supervision changes to high. Using supervision through the BRK 1 FLSHOVR SPV A, BRK 1 FLSHOVR SPV B, and BRK 1
FLSHOVR SPV C settings is recommended by selecting a trip operand that will not allow the flashover element to pickup prior
to the trip.
The flashover detection can be used for external alarm, re-tripping the breaker, or energizing the lockout relay.
Consider the following configuration:
Bus
CTs
Breaker
Bus VTs
Line/Feeder
842746A1.CDR
The source 1 (SRC1) phase currents are feeder CTs and phase voltages are bus VTs, and Contact Input 1 is set as Breaker
52a contact. The conditions prior to flashover detection are:
1.
52a status = 0.
2.
VAg, VBg, or VCg is greater than the pickup setting.
3.
IA, IB, IC = 0; no current flows through the breaker.
4.
VA is greater than pickup (not applicable in this scheme).
The conditions at flashover detection are:

1.
52a status = 0.
2.
IA, IB, or IC is greater than the pickup current flowing through the breaker.
3.
VA is greater than pickup (not applicable in this scheme).
SIX VT BREAKER FLASHOVER APPLICATION

The per-phase voltage difference approaches zero when the breaker is closed. The is well below any typical minimum
pickup voltage. Select the level of the BRK 1 FLSHOVR DIFF V PKP setting to be less than the voltage difference measured
across the breaker when the close or open breaker resistors are left in service. Prior to flashover, the voltage difference is
larger than BRK 1 FLSHOVR DIFF V PKP. This applies to either the difference between two live voltages per phase or when the
voltage from one side of the breaker has dropped to zero (line de-energized), at least one per-phase voltage is larger than
the BRK 1 FLSHOVR V PKP setting, and no current flows through the breaker poles. During breaker flashover, the per-phase
voltages from both sides of the breaker drops below the pickup value defined by the BRK 1 FLSHOVR V PKP setting, the voltage difference drops below the pickup setting, and flashover current is detected. These flashover conditions initiate FlexLogic pickup operands and start the BRK 1 FLSHOVR PKP DELAY timer.
This application do not require detection of breaker status via a 52a contact, as it uses a voltage difference larger than the
BRK 1 FLSHOVR DIFF V PKP setting. However, monitoring the breaker contact will ensure scheme stability.

NOTE
The breaker flashover settings are described below.
BRK 1 FLSHOVR SIDE 1 SRC: This setting specifies a signal source used to provide three-phase voltages and threephase currents from one side of the current breaker. The source selected as a setting and must be configured with
breaker phase voltages and currents, even if only three (3) VTs are available across the breaker.
BRK 1 FLSHOVR SIDE 2 SRC: This setting specifies a signal source used to provide another set of three phase voltages whenever six (6) VTs are available across the breaker.
BRK 1 STATUS CLSD A to BRK 1 STATUS CLSD C: These settings specify FlexLogic operands to indicate the open
status of the breaker. A separate FlexLogic operand can be selected to detect individual breaker pole status and provide flashover detection. The recommended setting is 52a breaker contact or another operand defining the breaker
poles open status.
BRK 1 FLSHOVR V PKP: This setting specifies a pickup level for the phase voltages from both sides of the breaker. If
six VTs are available, opening the breaker leads to two possible combinations live voltages from only one side of the
breaker, or live voltages from both sides of the breaker. Either case will set the scheme ready for flashover detection
upon detection of voltage above the selected value. Set BRK FLSHOVR V PKP to 85 to 90% of the nominal voltage.
BRK 1 FLSHOVR DIFF V PKP: This setting specifies a pickup level for the phase voltage difference when two VTs per
phase are available across the breaker. The pickup voltage difference should be below the monitored voltage difference when close or open breaker resistors are left in service. The setting is selected as primary volts difference
between the sources.
BRK 1 FLSHOVR AMP PKP: This setting specifies the normal load current which can flow through the breaker.
Depending on the flashover protection application, the flashover current can vary from levels of the charging current
when the line is de-energized (all line breakers open), to well above the maximum line (feeder) load (line/feeder connected to load).
BRK 1 FLSHOVR SPV A to BRK 1 FLSHOVR SPV C: These settings specify FlexLogic operands (per breaker pole)

The thermal overload protection element corresponds to the IEC 255-8 standard and is used to detect thermal overload
conditions in protected power system elements. Choosing an appropriate time constant element can be used to protect different elements of the power system. The cold curve characteristic is applied when the previous averaged load current over
the last 5 cycles is less than 10% of the base current. If this current is greater or equal than 10% than the base current, then
the hot curve characteristic is applied.
The IEC255-8 cold curve is defined as follows:

trst(In) is the reset time calculated at index n as per the reset time equation.
In is the measured overload RMS current at index n.
En is the accumulated energy at index n.

The thermal overload protection element removes the THERMAL PROT 1 OP output operand when E < 0.05. In case of
emergency, the thermal memory and THERMAL PROT 1 OP output operand can be reset using THERM PROT 1 RESET setting.
All calculations are performed per phase. If the accumulated energy reaches value 1 in any phase, the thermal overload

The contact inputs menu contains configuration settings for each contact input as well as voltage thresholds for each group
of four contact inputs. Upon startup, the relay processor determines (from an assessment of the installed modules) which
contact inputs are available and then display settings for only those inputs.
An alphanumeric ID may be assigned to a contact input for diagnostic, setting, and event recording purposes. The CONTACT IP X On (Logic 1) FlexLogic operand corresponds to contact input X being closed, while CONTACT IP X Off corresponds to contact input X being open. The CONTACT INPUT DEBNCE TIME defines the time required for the contact to
overcome contact bouncing conditions. As this time differs for different contact types and manufacturers, set it as a maximum contact debounce time (per manufacturer specifications) plus some margin to ensure proper operation. If CONTACT
INPUT EVENTS is set to Enabled, every change in the contact input state will trigger an event.
A raw status is scanned for all Contact Inputs synchronously at the constant rate of 0.5 ms as shown in the figure below.
The DC input voltage is compared to a user-settable threshold. A new contact input state must be maintained for a usersettable debounce time in order for the B30 to validate the new contact state. In the figure below, the debounce time is set
at 2.5 ms; thus the 6th sample in a row validates the change of state (mark no. 1 in the diagram). Once validated (debounced), the contact input asserts a corresponding FlexLogic operand and logs an event as per user setting.
A time stamp of the first sample in the sequence that validates the new state is used when logging the change of the contact input into the Event Recorder (mark no. 2 in the diagram).
Protection and control elements, as well as FlexLogic equations and timers, are executed eight times in a power system
cycle. The protection pass duration is controlled by the frequency tracking mechanism. The FlexLogic operand reflecting
the debounced state of the contact is updated at the protection pass following the validation (marks no. 3 and 4 on the figure below). The update is performed at the beginning of the protection pass so all protection and control functions, as well
as FlexLogic equations, are fed with the updated states of the contact inputs.

5 SETTINGS
The FlexLogic operand response time to the contact input change is equal to the debounce time setting plus up to one protection pass (variable and depending on system frequency if frequency tracking enabled). If the change of state occurs just
after a protection pass, the recognition is delayed until the subsequent protection pass; that is, by the entire duration of the
protection pass. If the change occurs just prior to a protection pass, the state is recognized immediately. Statistically a delay
of half the protection pass is expected. Owing to the 0.5 ms scan rate, the time resolution for the input contact is below
1msec.
For example, 8 protection passes per cycle on a 60 Hz system correspond to a protection pass every 2.1 ms. With a contact debounce time setting of 3.0 ms, the FlexLogic operand-assert time limits are: 3.0 + 0.0 = 3.0 ms and 3.0 + 2.1 = 5.1
ms. These time limits depend on how soon the protection pass runs after the debouncing time.
Regardless of the contact debounce time setting, the contact input event is time-stamped with a 1 s accuracy using the
time of the first scan corresponding to the new state (mark no. 2 below). Therefore, the time stamp reflects a change in the
DC voltage across the contact input terminals that was not accidental as it was subsequently validated using the debounce
timer. Keep in mind that the associated FlexLogic operand is asserted/de-asserted later, after validating the change.

Contact inputs are isolated in groups of four to allow connection of wet contacts from different voltage sources for each
group. The CONTACT INPUT THRESHOLDS determine the minimum voltage required to detect a closed contact input. This
value should be selected according to the following criteria: 17 for 24 V sources, 33 for 48 V sources, 84 for 110 to 125 V
sources and 166 for 250 V sources.
For example, to use contact input H5a as a status input from the breaker 52b contact to seal-in the trip relay and record it in
the Event Records menu, make the following settings changes:
CONTACT INPUT H5A ID: "Breaker Closed
CONTACT INPUT H5A EVENTS: "Enabled"
(52b)"
Note that the 52b contact is closed when the breaker is open and open when the breaker is closed.

If the VIRTUAL INPUT x FUNCTION is to Disabled, the input will be forced to off (logic 0) regardless of any attempt to alter the

There are two types of operation: self-reset and latched. If VIRTUAL INPUT x TYPE is Self-Reset, when the input signal transits from off to on, the output operand will be set to on for only one evaluation of the FlexLogic equations and then return to
off. If set to Latched, the virtual input sets the state of the output operand to the same state as the most recent received
input.
NOTE
The self-reset operating mode generates the output operand for a single evaluation of the FlexLogic equations. If
the operand is to be used anywhere other than internally in a FlexLogic equation, it will likely have to be lengthened

Upon startup of the relay, the main processor will determine from an assessment of the modules installed in the chassis
which contact outputs are available and present the settings for only these outputs.
An ID may be assigned to each contact output. The signal that can OPERATE a contact output may be any FlexLogic operand (virtual output, element state, contact input, or virtual input). An additional FlexLogic operand may be used to SEAL-IN
the relay. Any change of state of a contact output can be logged as an Event if programmed to do so.
For example, the trip circuit current is monitored by providing a current threshold detector in series with some Form-A contacts (see the trip circuit example in the Digital elements section). The monitor will set a flag (see the specifications for
Form-A). The name of the FlexLogic operand set by the monitor, consists of the output relay designation, followed by the
name of the flag; for example, CONT OP 1 ION.
In most breaker control circuits, the trip coil is connected in series with a breaker auxiliary contact used to interrupt current
flow after the breaker has tripped, to prevent damage to the less robust initiating contact. This can be done by monitoring
an auxiliary contact on the breaker which opens when the breaker has tripped, but this scheme is subject to incorrect operation caused by differences in timing between breaker auxiliary contact change-of-state and interruption of current in the
trip circuit. The most dependable protection of the initiating contact is provided by directly measuring current in the tripping
circuit, and using this parameter to control resetting of the initiating relay. This scheme is often called trip seal-in.
This can be realized in the B30 using the CONT OP 1 ION FlexLogic operand to seal-in the contact output as follows:

The B30 latching output contacts are mechanically bi-stable and controlled by two separate (open and close) coils. As such
they retain their position even if the relay is not powered up. The relay recognizes all latching output contact cards and populates the setting menu accordingly. On power up, the relay reads positions of the latching contacts from the hardware
before executing any other functions of the relay (such as protection and control features or FlexLogic).
The latching output modules, either as a part of the relay or as individual modules, are shipped from the factory with all
latching contacts opened. It is highly recommended to double-check the programming and positions of the latching contacts when replacing a module.
Since the relay asserts the output contact and reads back its position, it is possible to incorporate self-monitoring capabilities for the latching outputs. If any latching outputs exhibits a discrepancy, the LATCHING OUTPUT ERROR self-test error is
declared. The error is signaled by the LATCHING OUT ERROR FlexLogic operand, event, and target message.
OUTPUT H1a OPERATE: This setting specifies a FlexLogic operand to operate the close coil of the contact. The
relay will seal-in this input to safely close the contact. Once the contact is closed and the RESET input is logic 0 (off),
any activity of the OPERATE input, such as subsequent chattering, will not have any effect. With both the OPERATE and
RESET inputs active (logic 1), the response of the latching contact is specified by the OUTPUT H1A TYPE setting.
OUTPUT H1a RESET: This setting specifies a FlexLogic operand to operate the trip coil of the contact. The relay will
seal-in this input to safely open the contact. Once the contact is opened and the OPERATE input is logic 0 (off), any
activity of the RESET input, such as subsequent chattering, will not have any effect. With both the OPERATE and RESET
inputs active (logic 1), the response of the latching contact is specified by the OUTPUT H1A TYPE setting.
OUTPUT H1a TYPE: This setting specifies the contact response under conflicting control inputs; that is, when both the
OPERATE and RESET signals are applied. With both control inputs applied simultaneously, the contact will close if set to
Operate-dominant and will open if set to Reset-dominant.
Application Example 1:
A latching output contact H1a is to be controlled from two user-programmable pushbuttons (buttons number 1 and 2). The
following settings should be applied.
Program the Latching Outputs by making the following changes in the SETTINGS INPUTS/OUTPUTS CONTACT OUTPUTS CONTACT OUTPUT H1a menu (assuming an H4L module):
OUTPUT H1a OPERATE: PUSHBUTTON 1 ON
OUTPUT H1a RESET: PUSHBUTTON 2 ON
Program the pushbuttons by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP USER-PROGRAMMABLE PUSHBUTTONS USER PUSHBUTTON 1 and USER PUSHBUTTON 2 menus:

A relay, having two latching contacts H1a and H1c, is to be programmed. The H1a contact is to be a Type-a contact, while
the H1c contact is to be a Type-b contact (Type-a means closed after exercising the operate input; Type-b means closed
after exercising the reset input). The relay is to be controlled from virtual outputs: VO1 to operate and VO2 to reset.
Program the Latching Outputs by making the following changes in the SETTINGS INPUTS/OUTPUTS CONTACT OUTPUTS CONTACT OUTPUT H1a and CONTACT OUTPUT H1c menus (assuming an H4L module):
OUTPUT H1a OPERATE: VO1
OUTPUT H1a RESET: VO2
OUTPUT H1c OPERATE: VO2

OUTPUT H1c RESET: VO1
Since the two physical contacts in this example are mechanically separated and have individual control inputs, they will not
operate at exactly the same time. A discrepancy in the range of a fraction of a maximum operating time may occur. Therefore, a pair of contacts programmed to be a multi-contact relay will not guarantee any specific sequence of operation (such
as make before break). If required, the sequence of operation must be programmed explicitly by delaying some of the control inputs as shown in the next application example.
A make before break functionality must be added to the preceding example. An overlap of 20 ms is required to implement
this functionality as described below:

5.8.5 REMOTE DEVICES

a) REMOTE INPUTS/OUTPUTS OVERVIEW
Remote inputs and outputs provide a means of exchanging digital state information between Ethernet-networked devices.
The IEC 61850 GSSE (Generic Substation State Event) and GOOSE (Generic Object Oriented Substation Event) standards are used.
The IEC 61850 specification requires that communications between devices be implemented on Ethernet. For URseries relays, Ethernet communications is provided on all CPU modules except type 9E.
NOTE
The sharing of digital point state information between GSSE/GOOSE equipped relays is essentially an extension to FlexLogic, allowing distributed FlexLogic by making operands available to/from devices on a common communications network. In addition to digital point states, GSSE/GOOSE messages identify the originator of the message and provide other
information required by the communication specification. All devices listen to network messages and capture data only from
messages that have originated in selected devices.
IEC 61850 GSSE messages are compatible with UCA GOOSE messages and contain a fixed set of digital points. IEC
61850 GOOSE messages can, in general, contain any configurable data items. When used by the remote input/output feature, IEC 61850 GOOSE messages contain the same data as GSSE messages.
Both GSSE and GOOSE messages are designed to be short, reliable, and high priority. GOOSE messages have additional
advantages over GSSE messages due to their support of VLAN (virtual LAN) and Ethernet priority tagging functionality.
The GSSE message structure contains space for 128 bit pairs representing digital point state information. The IEC 61850
specification provides 32 DNA bit pairs that represent the state of two pre-defined events and 30 user-defined events. All
remaining bit pairs are UserSt bit pairs, which are status bits representing user-definable events. The B30 implementation
provides 32 of the 96 available UserSt bit pairs.
The IEC 61850 specification includes features that are used to cope with the loss of communication between transmitting
and receiving devices. Each transmitting device will send a GSSE/GOOSE message upon a successful power-up, when
the state of any included point changes, or after a specified interval (the default update time) if a change-of-state has not
occurred. The transmitting device also sends a hold time which is set greater than three times the programmed default
time required by the receiving device.
Receiving devices are constantly monitoring the communications network for messages they require, as recognized by the
identification of the originating device carried in the message. Messages received from remote devices include the message time allowed to live. The receiving relay sets a timer assigned to the originating device to this time interval, and if it
has not received another message from this device at time-out, the remote device is declared to be non-communicating, so
it will use the programmed default state for all points from that specific remote device. If a message is received from a
remote device before the time allowed to live expires, all points for that device are updated to the states contained in the
message and the hold timer is restarted. The status of a remote device, where Offline indicates non-communicating, can
be displayed.
The remote input/output facility provides for 32 remote inputs and 64 remote outputs.
b) LOCAL DEVICES: ID OF DEVICE FOR TRANSMITTING GSSE/GOOSE MESSAGES
In a B30 relay, the device ID that represents the IEC 61850 GOOSE application ID (GoID) name string sent as part of each
GOOSE message is programmed in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS IEC 61850 PROTOCOL
GSSE/GOOSE CONFIGURATION TRANSMISSION FIXED GOOSE GOOSE ID setting.
Likewise, the device ID that represents the IEC 61850 GSSE application ID name string sent as part of each GSSE message is programmed in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS IEC 61850 PROTOCOL GSSE/GOOSE
CONFIGURATION TRANSMISSION GSSE GSSE ID setting.
In B30 releases previous to 5.0x, these name strings were represented by the RELAY NAME setting.

Remote Inputs that create FlexLogic operands at the receiving relay are extracted from GSSE/GOOSE messages originating in remote devices. Each remote input can be selected from a list consisting of: DNA-1 through DNA-32, UserSt-1
through UserSt-32, and Dataset Item 1 through Dataset Item 32. The function of DNA inputs is defined in the IEC 61850
specification and is presented in the IEC 61850 DNA Assignments table in the Remote outputs section. The function of
UserSt inputs is defined by the user selection of the FlexLogic operand whose state is represented in the GSSE/GOOSE
message. A user must program a DNA point from the appropriate FlexLogic operand.
Remote input 1 must be programmed to replicate the logic state of a specific signal from a specific remote device for local
use. This programming is performed via the three settings shown above.
The REMOTE INPUT 1 ID setting allows the user to assign descriptive text to the remote input. The REMOTE IN 1 DEVICE setting
selects the remote device which originates the required signal, as previously assigned to the remote device via the setting
REMOTE DEVICE (16) ID (see the Remote devices section). The REMOTE IN 1 ITEM setting selects the specific bits of the
GSSE/GOOSE message required.
The REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE setting selects the logic state for this point if the local relay has just completed startup or
the remote device sending the point is declared to be non-communicating. The following choices are available:
Setting REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE to On value defaults the input to logic 1.
Setting REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE to Off value defaults the input to logic 0.
Setting REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE to Latest/On freezes the input in case of lost communications. If the latest state is
not known, such as after relay power-up but before the first communication exchange, the input will default to logic 1.
When communication resumes, the input becomes fully operational.
Setting REMOTE IN 1 DEFAULT STATE to Latest/Off freezes the input in case of lost communications. If the latest state is
not known, such as after relay power-up but before the first communication exchange, the input will default to logic 0.
When communication resumes, the input becomes fully operational.

The RESET command can be sent from the faceplate Reset button, a remote device via a communications channel, or any
programmed operand.
When the RESET command is received by the relay, two FlexLogic operands are created. These operands, which are
stored as events, reset the latches if the initiating condition has cleared. The three sources of RESET commands each create the RESET OP FlexLogic operand. Each individual source of a RESET command also creates its individual operand

5.8.11 TELEPROTECTION INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
a) OVERVIEW
The relay provides sixteen teleprotection inputs on communications channel 1 (numbered 1-1 through 1-16) and sixteen
teleprotection inputs on communications channel 2 (on two-terminals two-channel and three-terminal systems only, numbered 2-1 through 2-16). The remote relay connected to channels 1 and 2 of the local relay is programmed by assigning
FlexLogic operands to be sent via the selected communications channel. This allows the user to create distributed protection and control schemes via dedicated communications channels. Some examples are directional comparison pilot
schemes and direct transfer tripping. It should be noted that failures of communications channels will affect teleprotection
functionality. The teleprotection function must be enabled to utilize the inputs.

The Latest/On and Latest/Off values freeze the input in case of lost communications. If the latest state is not known,
such as after relay power-up but before the first communication exchange, then the input defaults to logic 1 for Latest/On
and logic 0 for Latest/Off.

As the following figure demonstrates, processing of the teleprotection inputs/outputs is dependent on the number of communication channels and terminals. On two-terminal two-channel systems, they are processed continuously on each channel and mapped separately per channel. Therefore, to achieve redundancy, the user must assign the same operand on
both channels (teleprotection outputs at the sending end or corresponding teleprotection inputs at the receiving end). On
three-terminal two-channel systems, redundancy is achieved by programming signal re-transmittal in the case of channel
failure between any pair of relays.

Hardware and software is provided to receive signals from external transducers and convert these signals into a digital format for use as required. The relay will accept inputs in the range of 1 to +20 mA DC, suitable for use with most common
transducer output ranges; all inputs are assumed to be linear over the complete range. Specific hardware details are contained in chapter 3.
Before the dcmA input signal can be used, the value of the signal measured by the relay must be converted to the range
and quantity of the external transducer primary input parameter, such as DC voltage or temperature. The relay simplifies
this process by internally scaling the output from the external transducer and displaying the actual primary parameter.
dcmA input channels are arranged in a manner similar to CT and VT channels. The user configures individual channels
with the settings shown here.
The channels are arranged in sub-modules of two channels, numbered from 1 through 8 from top to bottom. On power-up,
the relay will automatically generate configuration settings for every channel, based on the order code, in the same general
manner that is used for CTs and VTs. Each channel is assigned a slot letter followed by the row number, 1 through 8 inclusive, which is used as the channel number. The relay generates an actual value for each available input channel.
Settings are automatically generated for every channel available in the specific relay as shown above for the first channel of
a type 5F transducer module installed in slot H.
The function of the channel may be either Enabled or Disabled. If Disabled, no actual values are created for the channel. An alphanumeric ID is assigned to each channel; this ID will be included in the channel actual value, along with the
programmed units associated with the parameter measured by the transducer, such as volts, C, megawatts, etc. This ID is
also used to reference the channel as the input parameter to features designed to measure this type of parameter. The
DCMA INPUT H1 RANGE setting specifies the mA DC range of the transducer connected to the input channel.
The DCMA INPUT H1 MIN VALUE and DCMA INPUT H1 MAX VALUE settings are used to program the span of the transducer in
primary units. For example, a temperature transducer might have a span from 0 to 250C; in this case the DCMA INPUT H1
MIN VALUE value is 0 and the DCMA INPUT H1 MAX VALUE value is 250. Another example would be a watts transducer with
a span from 20 to +180 MW; in this case the DCMA INPUT H1 MIN VALUE value would be 20 and the DCMA INPUT H1 MAX
VALUE value 180. Intermediate values between the min and max values are scaled linearly.

common use. Specific hardware details are contained in chapter 3.
RTD input channels are arranged in a manner similar to CT and VT channels. The user configures individual channels with

Settings are automatically generated for every channel available in the specific relay as shown above for the first channel of
a type 5C transducer module installed in the first available slot.
The function of the channel may be either Enabled or Disabled. If Disabled, there will not be an actual value created for
the channel. An alphanumeric ID is assigned to the channel; this ID will be included in the channel actual values. It is also
used to reference the channel as the input parameter to features designed to measure this type of parameter. Selecting the
type of RTD connected to the channel configures the channel.
Actions based on RTD overtemperature, such as trips or alarms, are done in conjunction with the FlexElements feature. In
FlexElements, the operate level is scaled to a base of 100C. For example, a trip level of 150C is achieved by setting the
operate level at 1.5 pu. FlexElement operands are available to FlexLogic for further interlocking or to operate an output
contact directly.

Hardware and software is provided to generate dcmA signals that allow interfacing with external equipment. Specific hardware details are contained in chapter 3. The dcmA output channels are arranged in a manner similar to transducer input or
CT and VT channels. The user configures individual channels with the settings shown below.
The channels are arranged in sub-modules of two channels, numbered 1 through 8 from top to bottom. On power-up, the

the channel number.
Both the output range and a signal driving a given output are user-programmable via the following settings menu (an example for channel M5 is shown).
The relay checks the driving signal (x in equations below) for the minimum and maximum limits, and subsequently rescales so the limits defined as MIN VAL and MAX VAL match the output range of the hardware defined as RANGE. The following equation is applied:
I out
where:
I min if x MIN VAL
= I max if x MAX VAL
k x MIN VAL + I min otherwise
(EQ 5.19)
x is a driving signal specified by the SOURCE setting

Imin and Imax are defined by the RANGE setting
k is a scaling constant calculated as:
I max I min
k = -----------------------------------------------MAX VAL MIN VAL

The dcmA output settings are described below.
DCMA OUTPUT H1 SOURCE: This setting specifies an internal analog value to drive the analog output. Actual values
(FlexAnalog parameters) such as power, current amplitude, voltage amplitude, power factor, etc. can be configured as
sources driving dcmA outputs. Refer to Appendix A for a complete list of FlexAnalog parameters.
DCMA OUTPUT H1 RANGE: This setting allows selection of the output range. Each dcmA channel may be set independently to work with different ranges. The three most commonly used output ranges are available.
DCMA OUTPUT H1 MIN VAL: This setting allows setting the minimum limit for the signal that drives the output. This
setting is used to control the mapping between an internal analog value and the output current. The setting is entered
in per-unit values. The base units are defined in the same manner as the FlexElement base units.
DCMA OUTPUT H1 MAX VAL: This setting allows setting the maximum limit for the signal that drives the output. This
setting is used to control the mapping between an internal analog value and the output current. The setting is entered
in per-unit values. The base units are defined in the same manner as the FlexElement base units.
The DCMA OUTPUT H1 MIN VAL and DCMA OUTPUT H1 MAX VAL settings are ignored for power factor base units (i.e. if
the DCMA OUTPUT H1 SOURCE is set to FlexAnalog value based on power factor measurement).
NOTE
Three application examples are described below.

EXAMPLE: CURRENT MONITORING
The phase A current (true RMS value) is to be monitored via the H2 current output working with the range from 4 to 20 mA.
The CT ratio is 5000:5 and the maximum load current is 4200 A. The current should be monitored from 0 A upwards, allowing for 50% overload.
The phase current with the 50% overload margin is:
I max = 1.5 4.2 kA = 6.3 kA
(EQ 5.21)
The base unit for current (refer to the FlexElements section in this chapter for additional details) is:
I BASE = 5 kA
(EQ 5.22)
The minimum and maximum power values to be monitored (in pu) are:
kA- = 0 pu,
minimum current = 0
----------5 kA
kA- = 1.26 pu
maximum current = 6.3
---------------5 kA
(EQ 5.23)
The following settings should be entered:

DCMA OUTPUT H2 SOURCE: SRC 1 Ia RMS
DCMA OUTPUT H2 RANGE: 4 to 20 mA
DCMA OUTPUT H2 MIN VAL: 0.000 pu
DCMA OUTPUT H2 MAX VAL: 1.260 pu
The worst-case error for this application could be calculated by superimposing the following two sources of error:
0.5% of the full scale for the analog output module, or 0.005 20 4 6.3 kA = 0.504 kA
0.25% of reading or 0.1% of rated (whichever is greater) for currents between 0.1 and 2.0 of nominal
For example, at the reading of 4.2 kA, the worst-case error is max(0.0025 4.2 kA, 0.001 5 kA) + 0.504 kA = 0.515 kA.
EXAMPLE: VOLTAGE MONITORING
A positive-sequence voltage on a 400 kV system measured via source 2 is to be monitored by the dcmA H3 output with a
range of 0 to 1 mA. The VT secondary setting is 66.4 V, the VT ratio setting is 6024, and the VT connection setting is
Delta. The voltage should be monitored in the range from 70% to 110% of nominal.
The minimum and maximum positive-sequence voltages to be monitored are:
400 kV
V min = 0.7 ------------------- = 161.66 kV,
3
400 kV
V max = 1.1 ------------------- = 254.03 kV

(EQ 5.24)
The base unit for voltage (refer to the FlexElements section in this chapter for additional details) is:
GE Multilin
V BASE = 0.0664 kV 6024 = 400 kV
(EQ 5.25)
5-195
5 SETTINGS
The minimum and maximum voltage values to be monitored (in pu) are:
kV- = 0.404 pu,
minimum voltage = 161.66
-------------------------400 kV
kV- = 0.635 pu
maximum voltage = 254.03
-------------------------400 kV
(EQ 5.26)
The following settings should be entered:

DCMA OUTPUT H3 SOURCE: SRC 2 V_1
DCMA OUTPUT H3 RANGE: 0 to 1 mA
DCMA OUTPUT H3 MIN VAL: 0.404 pu
DCMA OUTPUT H3 MAX VAL: 0.635 pu
mag
The limit settings differ from the expected 0.7 pu and 1.1 pu because the relay calculates the positive-sequence quantities
scaled to the phase-to-ground voltages, even if the VTs are connected in Delta (refer to the Metering conventions section
in chapter 6), while at the same time the VT nominal voltage is 1 pu for the settings. Consequently the settings required in
this example differ from naturally expected by the factor of 3 .
The worst-case error for this application could be calculated by superimposing the following two sources of error:
0.5% of the full scale for the analog output module, or 0.005 1 0 254.03 kV = 1.27 kV
0.5% of reading
For example, under nominal conditions, the positive-sequence reads 230.94 kV and the worst-case error is
0.005 x 230.94 kV + 1.27 kV = 2.42 kV.

In the Disabled mode, B30 operation is normal and all test features are disabled.
In the Isolated mode, the B30 is prevented from performing certain control actions, including tripping via contact outputs.
All relay contact outputs, including latching outputs, are disabled. Channel tests and phasor measurement unit tests remain
usable on applicable UR-series models.
In the Forcible mode, the operand selected by the TEST MODE FORCING setting controls the relay inputs and outputs. If the
test mode is forcible, and the operand assigned to the TEST MODE FORCING setting is Off, the B30 inputs and outputs operate normally. If the test mode is forcible, and the operand assigned to the TEST MODE FORCING setting is On, the B30 contact inputs and outputs are forced to the values specified in the following sections. Forcing may be controlled by manually
changing the operand selected by the TEST MODE FORCING setting between on and off, or by selecting a user-programmable pushbutton, contact input, or communication-based input operand. Channel tests and phasor measurement unit tests
remain usable on applicable UR-series models.
Communications based inputs and outputs remain fully operational in test mode. If a control action is programmed
using direct inputs and outputs or remote inputs and outputs, then the test procedure must take this into account.
NOTE
When in Forcible mode, the operand selected by the TEST MODE FORCING setting dictates further response of the B30 to
testing conditions. To force contact inputs and outputs through relay settings, set TEST MODE FORCING to On. To force contact inputs and outputs through a user-programmable condition, such as FlexLogic operand (pushbutton, digital input, communication-based input, or a combination of these), set TEST MODE FORCING to the desired operand. The contact input or
output is forced when the selected operand assumes a logic 1 state.
The B30 remains fully operational in test mode, allowing for various testing procedures. In particular, the protection and
control elements, FlexLogic, and communication-based inputs and outputs function normally.
The only difference between the normal operation and the test mode is the behavior of the input and output contacts. The
contact inputs can be forced to report as open or closed or remain fully operational, whereas the contact outputs can be
forced to open, close, freeze, or remain fully operational. The response of the digital input and output contacts to the test
mode is programmed individually for each input and output using the force contact inputs and force contact outputs test
functions described in the following sections.
The test mode state is indicated on the relay faceplate by a combination of the Test Mode LED indicator, the In-Service LED
indicator, and by the critical fail relay, as shown in the following table.

The relay digital inputs (contact inputs) could be pre-programmed to respond to the test mode in the following ways:
If set to Disabled, the input remains fully operational. It is controlled by the voltage across its input terminals and can
be turned on and off by external circuitry. This value should be selected if a given input must be operational during the
test. This includes, for example, an input initiating the test, or being a part of a user pre-programmed test sequence.
If set to Open, the input is forced to report as opened (Logic 0) for the entire duration of the test mode regardless of
the voltage across the input terminals.
If set to Closed, the input is forced to report as closed (Logic 1) for the entire duration of the test mode regardless of
the voltage across the input terminals.
The force contact inputs feature provides a method of performing checks on the function of all contact inputs. Once
enabled, the relay is placed into test mode, allowing this feature to override the normal function of contact inputs. The Test
Mode LED will be on, indicating that the relay is in test mode. The state of each contact input may be programmed as Disabled, Open, or Closed. All contact input operations return to normal when all settings for this feature are disabled.

The relay contact outputs can be pre-programmed to respond to the test mode.
If set to Disabled, the contact output remains fully operational. If operates when its control operand is logic 1 and will
resets when its control operand is logic 0. If set to Energized, the output will close and remain closed for the entire duration of the test mode, regardless of the status of the operand configured to control the output contact. If set to De-energized, the output will open and remain opened for the entire duration of the test mode regardless of the status of the
operand configured to control the output contact. If set to Freeze, the output retains its position from before entering the
test mode, regardless of the status of the operand configured to control the output contact.
These settings are applied two ways. First, external circuits may be tested by energizing or de-energizing contacts. Second, by controlling the output contact state, relay logic may be tested and undesirable effects on external circuits avoided.
Example 1: Initiating test mode through user-programmable pushbutton 1
For example, the test mode can be initiated from user-programmable pushbutton 1. The pushbutton will be programmed as
Latched (pushbutton pressed to initiate the test, and pressed again to terminate the test). During the test, digital input 1
should remain operational, digital inputs 2 and 3 should open, and digital input 4 should close. Also, contact output 1 should
freeze, contact output 2 should open, contact output 3 should close, and contact output 4 should remain fully operational.
The required settings are shown below.
To enable user-programmable pushbutton 1 to initiate the test mode, make the following changes in the SETTINGS
TESTING TEST MODE menu: TEST MODE FUNCTION: Enabled and TEST MODE INITIATE: PUSHBUTTON 1 ON
Make the following changes to configure the contact inputs and outputs. In the SETTINGS TESTING FORCE CONTACT

Example 2: Initiating a test from user-programmable pushbutton 1 or through remote input 1

In this example, the test can be initiated locally from user-programmable pushbutton 1 or remotely through remote input 1.
Both the pushbutton and the remote input will be programmed as Latched. Write the following FlexLogic equation:

The Grandmaster ID is the grandmasterIdentity code being received from the present PTP grandmaster, if any. When the
relay is not using any PTP grandmaster, this actual value is zero. The grandmasterIdentity code is specified by PTP to be
globally unique, so one can always know which clock is grandmaster in a system with multiple grandmaster-capable clocks.
Accuracy is the estimated maximum time error at present in the RTC, considering the quality information imbedded in the
received time signal, how long the relay has had to lock to the time source, and in the case of time signal interruptions, the
length of the interruption. The value 999,999,999 indicates that the magnitude of the estimated error is one second or more,

6.3.1 METERING CONVENTIONS
a) UR CONVENTION FOR MEASURING PHASE ANGLES

All phasors calculated by UR-series relays and used for protection, control and metering functions are rotating phasors that
maintain the correct phase angle relationships with each other at all times.
For display and oscillography purposes, all phasor angles in a given relay are referred to an AC input channel pre-selected
by the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP POWER SYSTEM FREQUENCY AND PHASE REFERENCE setting. This setting
defines a particular AC signal source to be used as the reference.
The relay will first determine if any Phase VT bank is indicated in the source. If it is, voltage channel VA of that bank is
used as the angle reference. Otherwise, the relay determines if any Aux VT bank is indicated; if it is, the auxiliary voltage
channel of that bank is used as the angle reference. If neither of the two conditions is satisfied, then two more steps of this
hierarchical procedure to determine the reference signal include Phase CT bank and Ground CT bank.
If the AC signal pre-selected by the relay upon configuration is not measurable, the phase angles are not referenced. The
phase angles are assigned as positive in the leading direction, and are presented as negative in the lagging direction, to
more closely align with power system metering conventions. This is illustrated below.

b) UR CONVENTION FOR MEASURING SYMMETRICAL COMPONENTS
The UR-series of relays calculate voltage symmetrical components for the power system phase A line-to-neutral voltage,
and symmetrical components of the currents for the power system phase A current. Owing to the above definition, phase
angle relations between the symmetrical currents and voltages stay the same irrespective of the connection of instrument
transformers. This is important for setting directional protection elements that use symmetrical voltages.
For display and oscillography purposes the phase angles of symmetrical components are referenced to a common reference as described in the previous sub-section.

GE Multilin
7.1 COMMANDS
The PERFORM LAMPTEST command turns on all faceplate LEDs and display pixels for a short duration. The UPDATE
ORDER CODE command causes the relay to scan the backplane for the hardware modules and update the order code to
match. If an update occurs, the following message is shown.
UPDATING...
PLEASE WAIT
There is no impact if there have been no changes to the hardware modules. When an update does not occur, the ORDER
CODE NOT UPDATED message will be shown.
The SERVICE COMMAND is used to perform specific B30 service actions. Presently, there is only one service action available. Code 101 is used to clear factory diagnostic information stored in the non-volatile memory. If a code other than 101
is entered, the command will be ignored and no actions will be taken. Various self-checking diagnostics are performed in
the background while the B30 is running, and diagnostic information is stored on the non-volatile memory from time to time
based on the self-checking result. Although the diagnostic information is cleared before the B30 is shipped from the factory,
the user may want to clear the diagnostic information for themselves under certain circumstances. For example, it may be
desirable to clear diagnostic information after replacement of hardware. Once the diagnostic information is cleared, all selfchecking variables are reset to their initial state and diagnostics will restart from scratch.
The REBOOT RELAY COMMAND reboots the relay so that changes to configuration settings can take effect. In most cases, if
changes are made to the configuration settings these changes do not take effect unless the relay is rebooted.
With the CyberSentry option, the Administrator or Operator role can initiate the Reboot Relay command.

The relay performs a number of self-test diagnostic checks to ensure device integrity. The two types of self-tests (major and
minor) are listed in the tables below. When either type of self-test error occurs, the Trouble LED Indicator will turn on and a
target message displayed. All errors record an event in the event recorder. Latched errors can be cleared by pressing the
RESET key, providing the condition is no longer present.
Major self-test errors also result in the following:
The critical fail relay on the power supply module is de-energized.
All other output relays are de-energized and are prevented from further operation.
The faceplate In Service LED indicator is turned off.
A RELAY OUT OF SERVICE event is recorded.

What to do: Contact the factory.
d) WRONG TRANSCEIVER MESSAGES

Description: The type of SFP does not match the CPU type.
T-type CPU = All ports support fiber SFPs only
Type: minor
Target: latched
Message: "WRONG TRANSCEIVER"
A webpage "SFP Transceiver Information" is provided. This page displays the type of the SFP in it. This data is to be used
with the CPU type to know the cause of the problem.
e) SFP X MODULE FAIL MESSAGES
Description: A faulty SFP or unplugging the SFP would generate this self test.
Type: minor
Target: self reset
7-8
GE Multilin
7.2 TARGETS
Message: SFP MODULE x FAIL

The webpage "SFP Transceiver Information" described in the previous section applies for this self test as well. The "SFP
Module Fail" has higher priority and it suppresses the "Ethernet Fail" target message. The "SFP MODULE FAIL FUNCTION" setting enables/disables this self test. The target for this self test is priority-based, with the third one being the highest priority. For example, if all three SFP modules fail, then the third SFP target is activated. If the third SFP module failure
resolves, then the second SFP target is activated.
HARDFIBER SELF-TEST ERROR MESSAGES
In addition to those provided by the standard UR-series devices, the UR devices implement HardFiber self-tests. These are
listed below. Any abnormal diagnostic condition indicated by the LEDs or the critical failure relay also results in a self-test
message, so troubleshooting is described here. For other relays, such at the B95Plus, see that products instruction manual.
Equipment Mismatch Major Self-Test

Description: The number or type of installed hardware modules does not match the order code stored in the CPU. The standard UR-series Equipment Mismatch self-test is extended to cover the possible presence of a Process Card.
Severity: Protection is not available and all contact outputs and shared outputs are de-asserted.
If this message appears, check all modules against the order code. Ensure they are inserted properly, and cycle the control
power. If a module has intentionally been added or removed use the Update Order Code command to notify the relay that
the current module configuration is correct.
Module Failure Major Self-Test

Description: UR-series device module hardware failure detected.
If this message appears, contact the factory and supply the failure code noted in the display. Text in the message identifies
the failed module (for example, H81). If operated on a Process Card failure, the Module Fail self-test seals-in (latches) till
the UR-series device is restarted.
Process Bus Failure Major Self-test

Description: Mission critical data is not available via the process bus. An AC quantity is considered critical if both AC bank
origins and the crosschecking settings are other than none. This self-test is also initiated by an AC input discrepancy being
detected. See the description of the crosschecking setting in this manual for further information. In addition, this self-test
can be initiated by user logic responding to loss of critical contact input/output or other data using the Process Bus Failure
Operand user-programmable self-test setting. This setting is located in the Settings > Product Setup > User-Programmable Self Test menu.
If this message appears, first rectify any Process Bus Trouble and Brick Trouble self-test errors. Check the actual value of
the operand referenced by the Process Bus Failure Operand setting, and if On, determine the cause and rectify.
Should the problem persist with the foregoing all clear, the cause must be an AC input discrepancy, which is typically the
result of problems in the input signals to the Bricks, or faults in the Brick input conditioning hardware. If the error was
annunciated the first time significant signal was encountered, suspect the former cause and check the copper connections
external to the Brick. Where multiple UR-series devices have self-test errors, look for common causes.
To further isolate AC input discrepancy errors, put the relay in test-isolated mode, then one by one, temporally change an
AC bank crosschecking setting to none, until the Process Bus Failure clears. Once the problem AC bank has been identified, the values from each of the two Bricks can be examined individually by temporarily mapping each to an AC bank with
a single origin.
Process Bus Trouble Minor Self-Test

Description: Communications problems with one or more Bricks. The text of the message identifies the affected field units.
This self-test is initiated by low received signal levels at either the Brick or Process Card end, and by the sustained failure
to receive poll responses from the proper Brick.
Severity: This self-test error does not directly inhibit protection. However, the affected Brick inputs/outputs may not be available to the UR-series device.
GE Multilin
7-9
7.2 TARGETS
If this message appears, check the field unit actual values. An indication of equipment mismatch means that messages are
being received from a Brick, but there is a discrepancy between the settings and the actual Brick serial number, order code,
and/or core number. Check that the correct core on the correct Brick is patched through to the correct Process Card port,
and that the field unit settings are correct. An indication of communications loss means that no messages are being
received. Check that the patching is correct, and that the Brick has power. If that is not the problem, use a professional optical fiber connector cleaning kit to clean both sides of all optical fiber connections from the Process Card through to the
affected Brick. If the problem continues after cleaning, consult the factory.
Brick Trouble Minor Self-Test

Description: Brick internal self-testing has detected a trouble internal to the Brick.
Severity: This self-test error does not directly inhibit protection. However, some or all of the affected Brick inputs/outputs
may not be available to the UR-series device.
If this message appears, check the Brick environment for over/under temperatures and the voltage of its power source. If
the ambient temperature and supply voltage are within Brick specifications, consult the factory. Troubles resulting from a
Brick output failing to respond to an output command can only be detected while the command is active, and so in this case
the target is latched. A latched target can be unlatched by pressing the faceplate reset key if the command has ended,
however the output may still be non-functional.

8.2.1 OVERVIEW
CyberSentry Embedded Security is a software option that provides advanced security services through the following:
An Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (AAA) Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) client that
is centrally managed, enables user attribution, provides accounting of all user activities, and uses secure standardsbased strong cryptography for authentication and credential protection.
A Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system that provides a permission model that allows access to UR device operations and configurations based on specific roles and individual user accounts configured on the AAA server (that is,
Administrator, Supervisor, Engineer, Operator, Observer).
Security event reporting through the Syslog protocol for supporting Security Information Event Management (SIEM)
systems for centralized cybersecurity monitoring.
Strong encryption of all access and configuration network messages between the EnerVista software and UR devices
using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and 128-bit keys in Galois Counter
Mode (GCM) as specified in the U.S. National Security Agency Suite B extension for SSH and approved by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS-140-2 standards for cryptographic systems.
Example: Administrative functions can be segmented away from common operator functions, or engineering type access,
all of which are defined by separate roles, as shown in the following figure, so that access of UR devices by multiple personnel within a substation is allowed. Permission for each role are outlined in the table later in this section.
Figure 81: CYBERSENTRY USER ROLES
There are two types of authentication supported by CyberSentry that can be used to access the UR device:
Local Authentication (local UR device authenticates)
Remote Authentication (RADIUS server authenticates)
The EnerVista software allows access to functionality that is determined by the user role, which comes either from the local
UR device or RADIUS server.
The EnerVista software has a local authentication option on the login screen for accessing the UR device. When the "Local"
button is selected, the UR uses its local authentication database and not the RADIUS server to authenticate the user. In this
case, it uses its built-in roles (Administrator, Engineer, Supervisor, Observer, Operator) as login names and the associated
passwords are stored on the UR device. As such, when using the local accounts, access is not user-attributable.

8.2 CYBERSENTRY
In cases where user attributable access is required especially to facilitate auditable processes for compliance reasons, use
RADIUS authentication only.
Figure 82: LOGIN WINDOW
When the "Remote" Authentication Type option is selected, the UR uses the RADIUS server and not its local authentication
database to authenticate the user.
The UR device front panel only allows viewing of the settings under the Security Settings section. The path is Settings > Product Setup > Security, accessible from the top-level menu.

d) REMOTE AUTHENTICATION
The UR has been designed to automatically direct authentication requests based on user names. In this respect, local
account names on the UR are considered as reserved, and not provided on a RADIUS server.
The UR automatically detects whether an authentication request is to be handled remotely or locally. When an external
RADIUS server is used, the UR forwards all authentication requests for non-local user accounts to a remote RADIUS
server, and no authentication is managed at the UR itself.
As there are only five local accounts possible on the UR, if the user ID credential does not match one of the five local
accounts, the UR automatically forwards the request to a RADIUS server when one is provided.
If a RADIUS server is provided, but is unreachable over the network, remote authentication requests are denied. In this situation, use local UR accounts to gain access to the UR system.
See the specific RADIUS server instructions for information on how to provide user accounts and user roles on the
RADIUS server itself. User roles provided in the server must conform to those specified above.
NOTE
Remote user IDs must reside on an external RADIUS server, and must be provided with the requisite user role (see the following example). Users are specified in the RADIUS server configuration file for users. Roles are specified in the RADIUS
server dictionary.

Figure 91: BUS DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION BLOCK DIAGRAM

The currents are digitally pre-filtered (Block 1) in order to remove the decaying DC components and other signal distortions.
The filtered input signals are brought to a common scale taking into account the transformation ratios of the connected CTs
(Block 2). Refer to Section 8.2: Dynamic Bus Replica for details.
Phasors of the differential zone currents are estimated digitally (Block 3) and the differential (Block 4) and restraining (Block
5) signals are calculated. Refer to Section 8.3: Differential Principle for details.
The magnitude of the differential signal is compared with a threshold and an appropriate flag indicating operation of the
unbiased bus differential protection is produced (Block 6).
The magnitudes of the differential and restraining currents are compared and two auxiliary flags that correspond to two specifically shaped portions of the differential operating characteristic (DIF1 and DIF2) are produced (blocks 7 and 8). The
characteristic is split in order to enhance performance of the relay by applying diverse security measures for each of the
regions. Refer to Section 8.3: Differential Principle for details.
The directional element (Block 10) supervises the biased differential characteristic when necessary. The current directional
comparison principle is used that processes phasors of all the input currents as well as the differential and restraining currents. Refer to Section 8.4: Directional Principle for details.
The saturation detector (Block 9) analyzes the differential and restraining currents as well as the samples of the input currents. This block sets its output flag upon detecting CT saturation. Refer to Section 8.5: Saturation Detector for details.
The output logic (Block 11) combines the differential, directional and saturation flags into the biased differential operation
flag. The applied logic enhances performance of the relay while keeping an excellent balance between dependability/speed
and security. Refer to Section 8.6: Output Logic and Examples for details.

9.2DYNAMIC BUS REPLICA
9.2.1 DYNAMIC BUS REPLICA MECHANISM
The B30 provides protection for one bus differential zone. The bus differential zone of the B30 allows for protecting bus
sections that include circuits that are switchable between different bus sections. Proper relay operation is achieved by
associating a status signal with each input current. This mechanism is referred to as a dynamic bus replica.
The dynamic bus zone is programmed as a number of source-status pairs. The Sources feature of the UR is a convenient
and flexible mechanism for associating input currents and voltages with protection and control elements.
The Source mechanism permits summing physical input currents and assigning the resulting sum to a Source. It is not recommended to use this aspect of the Source mechanism for the bus differential protection. If two or more physical currents
are summed using the Source mechanism, and then used as an input to the differential protection element, the restraining
current calculated by the relay may not reflect external fault currents properly. Consequently, the relay would lack sufficient
bias during certain external faults. Also, the directional principle and saturation detector may not work properly. This is not a
limitation of the B30, but misapplication of Sources in conjunction with the biased differential principle.
Normally, each Source defining the input to the B30's bus differential zone should be associated with a single physical current transformer bank. The only situation when two or more currents may be summed up into a single Source before entering into the bus zone is when the currents are purely load currents and cannot produce any fault current in any
circumstances.
The status signal of a given source-status pair of the dynamic bus replica is a FlexLogic operand created to indicate
whether or not the associated circuit (current) is connected to the protected bus zone. Normally, the status signals are to be
created from input contacts wired to appropriate auxiliary contacts of switches and/or breakers.
EXAMPLE 1:
The following figure shows an example of a circuit that could be connected to two separate bus sections. It is assumed that
each section is protected individually by two B30s. Consider the B30 as protecting the Bus Section 1. The current signals
are connected to the relay using a CT bank, say F1, and assigned to a Source, say SRC 1. The status signal of the switch
is brought into the relay as an input contact, say U7a. The input contact can be used directly (say, Cont Ip 1 On), or further
processed using the FlexLogic for contact discrepancy filtering or extra security. The pair SRC 1 - Cont Ip 1 On defines
the input to the Bus Zone 1.

9.2.2 CT RATIO MATCHING
The B30 allows for using CTs with various rated secondary currents and transformation ratios. Scaling to a common base is
performed internally by the relay. The maximum allowable ratio mismatch is 32:1. For proper setting of the differential characteristic, it is imperative to understand the common base used by the relay.
The B30 scales the secondary currents to the maximum primary current among the CTs defining a given bus differential
zone: 1 per unit corresponds to the highest rated primary current.
The scaling base is selected automatically by the relay during the configuration phase and is not affected by the dynamic
aspect of the bus differential zone. This means that even though the circuit containing the CT with the maximum rated primary current is not connected to a given bus zone at a given time, the scaling base does not change.
EXAMPLE 2:
Assume the CTs installed in the circuit defining the BUS ZONE 1 have the following ratings:
1A CT: 600:5
1B CT: 500:1
1C CT: 600:5
1D CT: 1000:5
1E CT: 500:1
1F CT: 600:5
The maximum of 600, 500, 600, 1000, 500, and 600 is 1000 A which is therefore selected as the base upon configuration
of the BUS ZONE 1. 1 per unit (pu) represents 1000A primary.
Note that independently from the ratios and rated secondary currents, the per unit values of the differential current retain
their original meaning regardless of the distribution of the differential current between individual circuits. Assume, for example, that the differential current is fed by the inputs 1A and 1B exclusively, and consider two situations:
The 1A input supplies 1kA primary, and the 1B input supplies 2kA primary. The currents are in phase. The pu current of
the 1A source is 1000 A : (600:5) : 5A/pu = 1.67 pu. The pu current of the 1B source is 2000 A : (500:1) : 1A/pu = 4.00
pu. The pu differential current is (1000A + 2000A) : 1000A = 3.00 pu.
The 1A input supplies 2kA primary, and the 1B input supplies 1kA primary. The currents are in phase. The pu current of
the 1A source is 2000 A : (600:5) : 5A/pu = 3.33 pu. The pu current of the 1B source is 1000 A : (500:1) : 1A/pu = 2.00
pu. The pu differential current is (1000A + 2000A) : 1000A = 3.00 pu.

9.3DIFFERENTIAL PRINCIPLE
9.3.1 BIASED DIFFERENTIAL CHARACTERISTIC
The B30 uses a dual-slope dual-breakpoint operating characteristic as shown in the figure below.
The PICKUP setting is provided to cope with spurious differential signals when the bus carries a light load and there is no
effective restraining signal.
The first breakpoint (LOW BPNT) is provided to specify the limit of guaranteed linear operation of the CTs in the most unfavorable conditions such as high residual magnetism left in the magnetic cores or multiple autoreclosure shots. This point
defines the upper limit for the application of the first slope (LOW SLOPE).
The second breakpoint (HIGH BPNT) is provided to specify the limits of operation of the CTs without any substantial saturation. This point defines the lower limit for the application of the second slope (HIGH SLOPE).

The higher slope used by the B30 acts as an actual percentage bias regardless of the value of the restraining signal. This is
so because the boundary of the operating characteristic in the higher slope region is a straight line intersecting the origin of
the differential - restraining plane. The advantage of having a constant bias specified by the HIGH SLOPE setting creates an
obstacle of a discontinuity between the first and second slopes. This is overcome by using a smooth approximation (cubic
spline) of the characteristic between the lower and higher breakpoints. Consequently, the characteristic ensures:
a constant percentage bias of LOW SLOPE for restraining currents below the lower breakpoint of LOW BPNT,
a constant percentage bias of HIGH SLOPE for restraining currents above the higher breakpoint of HIGH BPNT, and
a smooth transition from the bias of LOW SLOPE to HIGH SLOPE between the breakpoints.

9.3.2 DIFFERENTIAL AND RESTRAINING CURRENTS
The differential current is produced as a sum of the phasors of the input currents of a differential bus zone taking into
account the status signals of the currents, i.e. applying the dynamic bus replica of the protected zone. The differential current is scaled to the maximum rated primary current as explained in Section 8.1 Introduction. The scaling must be taken
into account when setting the PICKUP value of the biased differential characteristic and the HIGH SET operating point of the
unbiased differential function.
The restraining current is produced as a maximum of the magnitudes of the phasors of the zone input currents taking into
account the status signals of the currents, i.e. applying the dynamic bus replica of the protected bus zone. The restraining
current is scaled to the maximum rated primary current as explained in Section 8.1 Introduction. The scaling must be taken
into account when setting the breakpoints of the biased differential characteristic.
The maximum of definition of the restraining signal biases the relay toward dependability without jeopardizing security as
the relay uses additional means to cope with CT saturation on external faults. An additional benefit of this approach is that
the restraining signal always represents a physical compared to an average or sum of current flowing through the CT
that is most likely to saturate during given external fault. This brings more meaning to the breakpoint settings of the operating characteristic.
The following example is provided with respect to the breakpoint settings.
EXAMPLE 3:
Proceed with the previous example (see page 82) and assume that taking into account the relevant factors such as properties of the CTs themselves, resistance of the leads and burden of the CTs, the following primary currents are guaranteed
to be transformed without significant saturation:
1A CT: 6.0 kA
1B CT: 7.5 kA
1C CT: 5.0 kA
1D CT: 13.0 kA
1E CT: 8.0 kA
1F CT: 9.0 kA
As having the lowest primary current guaranteeing operation without saturation, the CT associated with the 1C input is
most exposed to saturation. During an external fault on the 1C circuit, the 1C CT will carry the fault current contributed by
potentially all the remaining circuits. The fault current is higher than any contributing current, and therefore, the current of
the 1C CT will become the restraining signal for the biased differential characteristic for external faults on the 1C circuit.
Consequently, the higher breakpoint of the differential characteristic (HIGH BPNT) should be set not higher than
5000A : 1000A = 5 pu (1000A is the base unit; see page 82 for the example).
The same approach applies to the setting of the lower breakpoint, LOW BPNT.

9.3.3 ENHANCED SECURITY
In order to enhance the performance of the B30, the differential characteristic is divided into two regions having diverse
operating modes as shown in following diagram.
differential
The first region applies to comparatively low differential currents and has been introduced to deal with CT saturation on lowcurrent external faults. Certain distant external faults may cause CT saturation due to extremely long time constants of the
DC component or multiple autoreclosure shots. The saturation, however, is difficult to detect in such cases. Additional security via the directional check is permanently applied to this region without regard to the saturation detector.

836725A1.CDR
Figure 94: TWO REGIONS OF DIFFERENTIAL CHARACTERISTIC

The second region includes the remaining portion of the differential characteristic and applies to comparatively high differential currents. If, during an external fault, the spurious differential current is high enough so that the differential-restraining
current trajectory enters the second region, then saturation is guaranteed to be detected by the saturation detector.
The B30 operates in the 2-out-of-2 mode in the first region of the differential characteristic. Both differential and directional
principles (see Sections 9.3 Differential Principle and 9.4 Directional Principle) must confirm an internal fault in order for the
biased differential element to operate.
The relay operates in the dynamic 1-out-of-2 / 2-out-of-2 mode in the second region of the differential characteristic. If the
saturation detector (see Section 9.5 Saturation Detector) does not detect CT saturation, the differential protection principle
alone is capable of operating the biased differential element. If CT saturation is detected, both differential and directional
principles must confirm an internal fault in order for the biased differential element to operate.
Because of diverse operating modes in the first and second regions of the differential characteristic, the user gains double
control over the dependability and security issues. The first level includes slopes and breakpoints of the characteristic with
regard to the amount of the bias. The second level includes control over the split between the first and second regions of
the characteristic.

9.4 DIRECTIONAL PRINCIPLE
9.4DIRECTIONAL PRINCIPLE
9.4.1 CURRENT DIRECTIONAL PROTECTION
For better security, the B30 uses the current directional protection principle to dynamically supervise the main current differential function. The directional principle is in effect permanently for low differential currents (Region 1 in Figure 01: Two
Regions of Differential Characteristic) and is switched on dynamically for large differential currents (Region 2 in the same
figure) by the saturation detector (see Section 9.5: Saturation Detector) upon detecting CT saturation.
The directional principle responds to a relative direction of the fault currents. This means that a reference signal, such as
bus voltage, is not required. The directional principle declares that
if all of the fault currents flow in one direction, the fault is internal, or
if at least one fault current flows in an opposite direction compared with the sum of the remaining currents, the fault is
external.
The directional principle is implemented in two stages.

First, based on the magnitude of a given current, it is determined whether the current is a fault current. If so, its relative
phase relation has to be considered. The angle check must not be initiated for the load currents as the direction will be out
of the bus even during internal faults. The auxiliary comparator of this stage applies an adaptable threshold. The threshold
is a fraction of the restraining current. The current from a particular feeder is used for bus directional comparison if its magnitude is greater than K Irestraint or it is greater than 2 times its CT rating. For bus zones with two feeders, K = 0.2. For bus
zones with three to six feeders, K = 0.8 / (N 1). For bus zones with more than six feeders, K = 0.16.
Second, for and only for the selected fault currents, the phase angle between a given current and the sum of all the
remaining currents is checked. The sum of all the remaining currents is the differential current less the current under consideration. Therefore, for each, say the pth, current to be considered, the angle between the I P and I D I P phasors is to be
checked.
Ideally, during external faults, the said angle is close to 180 (see below); and during internal faults - close to 0 degrees.

The saturation detector of the B30 takes advantage of the fact that any CT operates correctly for a short period of time even
under very large primary currents that would subsequently cause a very deep saturation. As a result of that, in the case of
an external fault, the differential current stays very low during the initial period of linear operation of the CTs while the
restraining signal develops rapidly. Once one or more CTs saturate, the differential current will increase. The restraining signal, however, yields by at least a few milliseconds. During internal faults, both the differential and restraining currents
develop simultaneously. This creates characteristic patterns for the differential - restraining trajectory as depicted below.

836728A1.CDR
Figure 97: CT SATURATION DETECTION: INTERNAL & EXTERNAL FAULT PATTERNS

The CT saturation condition is declared by the saturation detector when the magnitude of the restraining signal becomes
larger than the higher breakpoint (HIGH BPNT) and at the same time the differential current is below the first slope (LOW
SLOPE). The said condition is of a transient nature and requires a seal-in. A special logic in the form of a state machine is
used for this purpose as depicted in Figure 87: SATURATION DETECTOR state machine.
As the phasor estimator introduces a delay into the measurement process, the aforementioned saturation test would fail to
detect CT saturation occurring very fast. In order to cope with very fast CT saturation, another condition is checked that
uses relations between the signals at the waveform level. The basic principle is similar to that described above. Additionally, the sample-based stage of the saturation detector uses the time derivative of the restraining signal (di/dt) to better
trace the saturation pattern shown in the above diagram.
The saturation detector is capable of detecting saturation occurring in approximately 2 ms into a fault. It is worth emphasizing that the saturation detector, although having no dedicated settings, uses the main differential characteristic for proper
operation. This must be kept in mind when setting the characteristic as its parameters must retain their original meaning.
The operation of the saturation detector is available as the FlexLogic operand BUS 1(2) SAT.

9.6OUTPUT LOGIC AND EXAMPLES
9.6.1 OUTPUT LOGIC
The biased differential characteristic uses the output logic shown below.
For low differential signals, the biased differential element operates on the 2-out-of-2 basis utilizing both the differential and
directional principles.
For high differential signals, the directional principle is included only if demanded by the saturation detector (dynamic 1-outof-2 / 2-out-of-2 mode). Typically, the directional principle is slower, and by avoiding using it when possible, the B30 gains
speed.
The dynamic inclusion/exclusion of the directional principle is not applied for the low differential currents but is included permanently only because it is comparatively difficult to reliably detect CT saturation occurring when the currents are small, i.e.
saturation due to extremely long time constant of the DC component or due to multiple autoreclosure actions.

Two examples of relay operation are presented: an external fault with heavy CT saturation and an internal fault.
The protected bus includes six circuits connected to CT terminals F1, F5, M1, M5, U1 and U5, respectively. The circuits F1,
F5, M1, M5 and U5 are capable of feeding some fault current; the U1 circuit supplies a load. The F1, F5 and U5 circuits are
significantly stronger than the F5 and M1 connections.
The M5 circuit contains the weakest (most prone to saturation) CT of the bus.
Figure 8-10 presents the bus currents and the most important logic signals for the case of an external fault. Despite very
fast and severe CT saturation, the B30 remains stable.

10 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS
10.1 OVERVIEW
10 APPLICATION OF SETTINGS 10.1OVERVIEW
10.1.1 INTRODUCTION
The B30 is a high-speed low-impedance microprocessor-based current differential relay for power system busbars. The
relay is limited to six circuits. The B30 incorporates the dynamic bus replica mechanism that allows for protecting buses
with circuits interconnectable between various sections but with single current measurement points.
As explained in the Theory of Operation chapter, the relay uses a dual-slope dual-breakpoint differential characteristic with
the restraint signal created as the maximum among the magnitudes of the circuit connected to the protected bus. The lowimpedance operating principle is enhanced by the use of the Saturation Detector and a current directional principle.
This chapter provides an example of setting calculations for a sample bus. The selected example includes various bus configurations to clarify a number of typical situations. Both the bus configuration and numerical data used are not meant to
reflect any specific utility practice or design standards.
It is also assumed that the CTs have been selected without considering a B30 application, but the B30 settings are to be
calculated for proper relay application. The CT data used in this example are kept to a minimum and in a generic form. The
CT data does not reflect any particular notation or national standards.
The analysis provided in this chapter has been performed with the following goals:
The limits of linear operation of the CTs considering zero remanent flux have been determined in order to select the
high breakpoint settings of the biased differential characteristic.
The limits of linear operation of the CTs considering a remanent flux of 80% have been determined in order to select
the low breakpoint settings of the biased differential characteristic.
Saturation of the CTs has been analyzed in order to select the higher slope of the biased differential characteristic and
the high set differential overcurrent setting.
The analysis tools and safety margins applied are examples only and do not reflect any particular protection philosophy.
Typically, for the CT saturation related calculations, it is sufficient to consider the weakest (most prone to saturation) CT
connected to the bus and the total bus fault current combined with the longest time constant among all the circuits connected to the bus. This chapter provides more detailed analysis (see the Slopes and High Set Threshold section) in order to
illustrate the idea of using setting groups to enhance the B30 performance when the bus configuration changes (see the
Enhancing Relay Performance section).

10.2ZONING AND DYNAMIC BUS REPLICA
10.2.1 DESCRIPTION
The figures in this section show the adopted protection zoning for the two bus sections.
To provide the bus differential zoning as shown in the figures, eight currents need to be measured. Consequently, the protection cannot be accomplished by one B30. However, as each bus has not more than six connections, two B30s can be
used.
10.2.2 NORTH BUS ZONE
With reference to the following diagram, the North bus differential zone is bounded by the following CTs: CT-1, CT-2 (if S-1
closed), CT-3 (if S-3 closed), CT-4 (if S-5 closed), CT-5 and CT-8. The North bus protection should operate the following
breakers: B-1, B-2 (if S-1 closed), B-3 (if S-3 closed), B-4 (if S-5 closed), B-5 and B-7.
Consequently, the B30 for the North bus should be wired and configured as follows:
CT-1 currents should be configured as SRC 1 and used as the source 1A of the bus differential zone 1 together with
the FlexLogic On constant for the status.
CT-2 currents should be configured as SRC 2 and used as the source 1B of the bus differential zone 1 together with
the status of the S-1 switch.
CT-3 currents should be configured as SRC 3 and used as the source 1C of the bus differential zone 1 together with
CT-4 currents should be configured as SRC 4 and used as the source 1D of the bus differential zone 1 together with
CT-5 currents should be configured as SRC 5 and used as the source 1E of the bus differential zone 1 together with
CT-8 currents should be configured as SRC 6 and used as the source 1F of the bus differential zone 1 together with
The trip signal should be routed directly to the B-1, B-5 and B-7 breakers while it should be supervised by the status of
S-1, S-3 and S-5 for the B-2, B-3 and B-4 breakers, respectively.
Depending on utility practice, extra security may be required with respect to the status signals. This may include bringing in
both the normally opened and normally closed contacts of a switch as well as status of a peer switch (S-1 and S-2, for
example). If this is the case, the required security filtering should be accomplished using FlexLogic and a single (final) status operand should be indicated for the status signal when setting the bus differential zone.

The South bus differential zone is bounded by the following CTs: CT-2 (if S-2 closed), CT-3 (if S-4 closed), CT-4 (if S-6

Consequently, the second B30 for the South bus should be wired and configured as follows:

10.3BIASED CHARACTERISTIC BREAKPOINTS
10.3.1 DESCRIPTION
The limits of linear operation of the CTs need to be found in order to set the breakpoints of the biased differential characteristic. The settings for the North and South bus relays are analyzed simultaneously from this point on as the two differential
zones share some CTs and the results of computations apply to both the relays.
For microprocessor-based relays it is justified to assume the burden of the CTs to be resistive. The limits of the linear operation of a CT, neglecting the effects of the DC component and residual magnetism, can be approximated as follows:
V sat
I max = ---------Rs
where:
(EQ 10.1)
Imax is the maximum secondary current transformed without saturation (AC component only, no
residual magnetism),
Rs is the total burden resistance,
Vsat is the saturation voltage of the CT.
The total burden resistance depends on both the fault type and connection of the CTs. For single-line-to-ground faults and
CTs connected in Wye, the burden resistance is calculated as:
R s = 2R lead + R CTsec + R relay
where:
(EQ 10.2)
Rlead is the lead resistance (one way, hence the factor of 2)

RCTsec is the secondary CT resistance
Rrelay is the relay input resistance.
Assuming 0.003 /m lead resistance and approximating the B30 input resistance for the 5A input CTs as 0.2 VA / (5 A)2 or
0.008 , the limits of the linear operation of the CTs have been calculated and presented in the Limits of Linear Operations
of the CTs table.
10.3.2 HIGH BREAKPOINT
As an external fault may happen on any of the connected circuits, threatening saturation of any of the CTs, the minimum
value of the linear operation limit should be taken as the HIGH BPNT setting. The limit of linear operation that neglects both
the residual magnetism and the effect of the DC component should be the base for setting the higher breakpoint of the
biased differential characteristic.
The B30 requires the breakpoints to be entered as pu values. The relay uses the largest primary current of the CTs bounding the bus differential zone as a base for the pu settings. Both the North and South buses have the largest primary current
of the CTs of 1200 A (CT-7 and CT-8), thus upon configuration of the relays, 1200 A is automatically selected as base for
the pu quantities. With a given Ibase current, the limits of linear operation have been recalculated to pu values as follows:

If an external fault occurs on circuit C-1, CT-1 will carry the fault current. As the fault current is higher than any of the other
currents, the current supplied by CT-1 will be used as the restraint signal. CT-1 is guaranteed to saturate if the current
exceeds 89.55 A secondary, or 17.9 times its rated current, or 8.96 pu of the bus differential zone. Consequently, considering CT-1, the value of 8.96 pu should be used as the higher breakpoint of the characteristic.
Considering CTs that could be connected (depending on the positions of the switches) to the North bus, the HIGH BPNT for
the North bus zone should be selected as the minimum of (8.96, 9.13, 31.17, 22.88, 24.57, 31.17), or 8.96 pu.
Considering CTs that could be connected (depending on the positions of the switches) to the South bus, the HIGH BPNT for
the South bus zone should be selected as the minimum of (9.13, 31.17, 22.88, 24.57, 31.17), or 9.13 pu.
10.3.3 LOW BREAKPOINT
The DC component in the primary current may saturate a given CT even with the AC current below the suggested value of
the higher breakpoint. The relay copes with this threat by using the Saturation Detector and applying a 2-out-of-2 operating
principle upon detecting saturation.
The residual magnetism (remanence) left in the core of a CT can limit the linear operation of the CT significantly. It is justified to assume that the residual flux could be as high as 80% of the saturation level leaving only 20% to accommodate the
flux component created by the primary current. This phenomenon may be reflected by reducing the saturation voltage in
the calculations by the factor of 100% / 20%, or 5. This, in turn, is equivalent to reducing the limit of linear operation by the
factor of 5, hence the last column in the Limits of Linear Operations of the CTs table.
For example, if the residual flux left in the core of the CT-1 is as high as 80% of its saturation level, the CT will saturate at
17.92 A secondary, or 3.58 times its rated current, or at 1.79 pu of the bus differential zone.
The reduced limit of linear operation should be used as the lower breakpoint of the biased differential characteristic (the
LOW BPNT setting). In this way the interval spanning from the lower to higher breakpoints covers the indistinct area of possible saturation due to the random factor of residual magnetism.
The LOW BPNT should be set at 1.79 pu for the North bus zone, and at 1.83 pu for the South bus zone.
A combination of very high residual magnetism and a DC component with a long time constant may saturate a given CT
even with the AC current below the suggested value of the lower breakpoint. The relay copes with this threat by using a 2out-of-2 operating mode for low differential currents.

10.4SLOPES AND HIGH SET THRESHOLD
10.4.1 DESCRIPTION
To set the higher slope and threshold of the high set (unbiased) differential operation, external faults must be analyzed.
Consider an external fault for the North bus relay. It is justified to assume bus configurations that give maximum stress to
the maximum number of CTs. For this purpose we will assume the tie breaker, B-7 closed; all the circuitry capable of supplying the fault current to be in service; moreover, they are connected to the South bus in order to analyze the CT-7 and CT8 carrying the fault current.
10.4.2 EXTERNAL FAULTS ON C-1
The table below presents the results of analysis of an external fault on circuit C-1 (C-1 is connected to the North bus; C-3,
C-4, and C-5 are connected to the South bus).
For security reasons, it has been assumed that the fault current being a sum of several contributors (C-3, C-4, and C-5 in
this case) has a time constant of the DC component of the maximum among the time constants of the contributors. The
fault current is supplied from circuits C-3, C-4, and C-5 connected to the South bus, thus through CT-3, CT-4, and CT-6.
The current passes through the tie breaker threatening saturation of CT-7 and CT-8.
By comparing the secondary currents (column 3 in the table below) with the limits of linear operation for the CTs (column 4
in the Limits of Linear Operations of the CTs table earlier), it is concluded that CT-1 will saturate during this fault, producing
a spurious differential signal for the North bus zone differential protection. All other CTs will not saturate due to the AC components. The amount of the spurious differential current (magnetizing current of CT-1) can be calculated using the burden,
magnetizing characteristic and primary current of the noted CT by solving the following equations:
I relay =
I s I magnetizing
(EQ 10.4)
I relay R s = V magnetizing
For Is = 116.67 A, Rs = 1.61 and the characteristic shown earlier in the Approximate CT Magnetizing Characteristics figure, the solution is Imagnetizing = 29.73 A, Irelay = 112.8 A.
The magnetizing current of the saturated CT-1 will appear to the differential element protecting the North bus as a differential signal of 29.73 A, while the restraint signal will be the maximum of the bus currents (112.8 A in this case). Consequently, the higher slope of the characteristic should not be lower than 29.73 A / 112.8 A, or 26%, and the pick up of the
high set differential elements should not be lower than 29.73 A, or 2.97 pu.
The CTs identified as operating in the linear mode as far as the AC components are considered may, however, saturate due
to the DC components. Saturation will not occur if V sat I s R s 1 + T dc , where is radian system frequency (2f).
Vsat I s R s 1
If the above condition is violated, saturation will occur but not before: T sat = T dc ln 1 ---------------------------------------
(EQ 10.5)
dc
Columns 6 and 7 of the table below summarize the DC saturation threat for the fault on C-1. CT-4, CT-6, CT-7, and CT-8
may saturate due to the DC components and may generate spurious differential signal for both the North and South bus
relays depending on the bus configuration. The saturation will not occur before 4.7 ms and will be detected by the Saturation Detector.
The transient saturation of the CTs due to the DC component may be neglected when setting the slopes of the characteristic as the saturation will be detected and the relay will use the current directional principle. It must however, be taken into
account when setting the high set (unbiased) differential element.

The following table presents the results of analysis of an external fault on circuit C-2 (C-2 is connected to the North bus; C3, C-4 and C-5 are connected to the South bus).
By comparing the secondary currents (column 3 in the following table) with the limits of linear operation for the CTs (column
4 shown earlier in the Limits of Linear Operations of the CTs table) it is concluded that CT-2 will saturate during this fault
producing a spurious differential signal. All other CTs will not saturate due to the AC components. The amount of the spurious differential current (magnetizing current of CT-2) can be calculated using the burden, magnetizing characteristic and
the primary current of the said CT.
For Is = 116.67 A, Rs = 1.23 and the characteristic shown earlier in the Approximate CT Magnetizing Characteristics figure, the solution is Imagnetizing = 27.69 A, Irelay = 113.3 A.
The magnetizing current of the saturated CT-2 will appear to the differential element protecting the North bus as a differential signal of 27.69 A, while the restraint signal will be the maximum of the bus currents (113.3 A). Consequently, the higher
slope of the characteristic should not be lower than 27.69 A / 113.3 A, or 24% and the pick up of the high-set differential
elements should not be lower than 27.69 A, or 2.77 pu.

PICKUP

Default value. Lower or higher values may be entered upon security/dependability

requirements. The pu value is for the base of 1200A. This means the actual pickup is

LOW SLOPE

LOW BPNT

requirements.
None of the CTs will saturate for ac currents below 1.79 pu even with 80% remanence.
The dc component, however, combined with the remanence may saturate some CTs
even for currents below 1.79 pu. The B30 copes with saturation using the current
directional principle.
HIGH SLOPE
60%

requirements. The value of 60% ensures that the differential characteristic alone
(without the directional principle) will work correctly under ac saturation of the CTs
(26% of spurious differential during the fault on C-1 saturating CT-1).
HIGH BPNT
8.96
None of the CTs will saturate for ac currents below 8.96 pu. The dc component,
however, may saturate some CTs even for currents below 8.96 pu. The B30 copes with
saturation using the current directional principle.
HIGH SET
5.94
The maximum spurious differential current is 2.97 pu. Due to limited accuracy of
analysis and the effect of dc saturation a security factor of 2 has been adopted. The
highest internal fault current is 14kA, or 11.67 pu giving a good chance to clear a
number of faults by the unbiased differential operation.

10.6ENHANCING RELAY PERFORMANCE
10.6.1 USING SETTING GROUPS
In the example of the South bus, CT-2 is the weakest (most prone to saturation) CT dictating values of some settings. However, CT-2 may not be a part of the South bus protection zone if the S-2 switch is opened. As the position of the switch must
be provided for the dynamic bus replica, the status of the switch may be re-used to control the setting groups and apply
more sensitive settings if the weakest CT is not part of the bus zone at a given time. For example, if the S-2 switch is
opened while the S-6 switch is closed, the CT-4 becomes the weakest CT connected to the South bus. The higher breakpoint (HIGH BPNT) could be increased to 22.88 pu (fourth column of the Limits of Linear Operations of the CTs table). The
lower breakpoint (LOW BPNT) could be increased to 4.58 pu (fifth column of the Limits of Linear Operations of the CTs table).
The higher slope (HIGH SLOPE) could be decreased as no AC saturation is possible for the South bus CTs (see the external
fault calculation tables for each circuit).
The concept could be implemented by using:
FlexLogic to process the status signals in order to identify the weakest CT.
Setting Groups to switch dynamically from one setting group to another (adaptive settings).
This approach may be extended even further for buses that do not require the dynamic bus replica mechanism. This could
include approximation of the total bus fault current using positions of all switches and breakers and optimizing the settings
depending on the amount of stress imposed on the CTs in any particular bus configuration.

APPENDIX B MODBUS COMMUNICATIONSB.1MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL
B.1.1 INTRODUCTION
The UR-series relays support a number of communications protocols to allow connection to equipment such as personal
computers, RTUs, SCADA masters, and programmable logic controllers. The Modicon Modbus RTU protocol is the most
basic protocol supported by the UR. Modbus is available via RS232 or RS485 serial links or via ethernet (using the Modbus/TCP specification). The following description is intended primarily for users who wish to develop their own master communication drivers and applies to the serial Modbus RTU protocol. Note that:
The UR always acts as a slave device, meaning that it never initiates communications; it only listens and responds to
requests issued by a master computer.
For Modbus, a subset of the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) protocol format is supported that allows extensive monitoring, programming, and control functions using read and write register commands.
B.1.2 PHYSICAL LAYER
The Modbus RTU protocol is hardware-independent so that the physical layer can be any of a variety of standard hardware
configurations including RS232 and RS485. The relay includes a faceplate (front panel) RS232 port and two rear terminal
communications ports that may be configured as RS485, fiber optic, 10Base-T, or 10Base-F. Data flow is half-duplex in all
configurations. See chapter 3 for details on communications wiring.
Each data byte is transmitted in an asynchronous format consisting of 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and possibly 1 parity
bit. This produces a 10 or 11 bit data frame. This can be important for transmission through modems at high bit rates (11 bit
data frames are not supported by many modems at baud rates greater than 300).
The baud rate and parity are independently programmable for each communications port. Baud rates of 300, 1200, 2400,
4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 28800, 33600, 38400, 57600, or 115200 bps are available. Even, odd, and no parity are available. Refer to the Communications section of chapter 5 for further details.
The master device in any system must know the address of the slave device with which it is to communicate. The relay will
not act on a request from a master if the address in the request does not match the relays slave address (unless the
address is the broadcast address see below).
A single setting selects the slave address used for all ports, with the exception that for the faceplate port, the relay will
accept any address when the Modbus RTU protocol is used.
B.1.3 DATA LINK LAYER
Communications takes place in packets which are groups of asynchronously framed byte data. The master transmits a
packet to the slave and the slave responds with a packet. The end of a packet is marked by dead-time on the communications line. The following describes general format for both transmit and receive packets. For exact details on packet formatting, refer to subsequent sections describing each function code.

FUNCTION CODE

DATA

CRC

DEAD TIME

SLAVE ADDRESS: This is the address of the slave device that is intended to receive the packet sent by the master
and to perform the desired action. Each slave device on a communications bus must have a unique address to prevent
bus contention. All of the relays ports have the same address which is programmable from 1 to 254; see chapter 5 for
details. Only the addressed slave will respond to a packet that starts with its address. Note that the faceplate port is an
exception to this rule; it will act on a message containing any slave address.
A master transmit packet with slave address 0 indicates a broadcast command. All slaves on the communication link
take action based on the packet, but none respond to the master. Broadcast mode is only recognized when associated
with function code 05h. For any other function code, a packet with broadcast mode slave address 0 will be ignored.

APPENDIX B
FUNCTION CODE: This is one of the supported functions codes of the unit which tells the slave what action to perform. See the Supported Function Codes section for complete details. An exception response from the slave is indicated by setting the high order bit of the function code in the response packet. See the Exception Responses section
for further details.
DATA: This will be a variable number of bytes depending on the function code. This may include actual values, settings, or addresses sent by the master to the slave or by the slave to the master.
CRC: This is a two byte error checking code. The RTU version of Modbus includes a 16-bit cyclic redundancy check
(CRC-16) with every packet which is an industry standard method used for error detection. If a Modbus slave device
receives a packet in which an error is indicated by the CRC, the slave device will not act upon or respond to the packet
thus preventing any erroneous operations. See the CRC-16 Algorithm section for details on calculating the CRC.
DEAD TIME: A packet is terminated when no data is received for a period of 3.5 byte transmission times (about 15 ms
at 2400 bps, 2 ms at 19200 bps, and 300 s at 115200 bps). Consequently, the transmitting device must not allow gaps
between bytes longer than this interval. Once the dead time has expired without a new byte transmission, all slaves
start listening for a new packet from the master except for the addressed slave.
B.1.4 CRC-16 ALGORITHM

The CRC-16 algorithm essentially treats the entire data stream (data bits only; start, stop and parity ignored) as one continuous binary number. This number is first shifted left 16 bits and then divided by a characteristic polynomial
(11000000000000101B). The 16-bit remainder of the division is appended to the end of the packet, MSByte first. The
resulting packet including CRC, when divided by the same polynomial at the receiver will give a zero remainder if no transmission errors have occurred. This algorithm requires the characteristic polynomial to be reverse bit ordered. The most significant bit of the characteristic polynomial is dropped, since it does not affect the value of the remainder.
A C programming language implementation of the CRC algorithm will be provided upon request.

B.2MODBUS FUNCTION CODES
B.2.1 SUPPORTED FUNCTION CODES
Modbus officially defines function codes from 1 to 127 though only a small subset is generally needed. The relay supports
some of these functions, as summarized in the following table. Subsequent sections describe each function code in detail.

B.2.2 READ ACTUAL VALUES OR SETTINGS (FUNCTION CODE 03/04H)

This function code allows the master to read one or more consecutive data registers (actual values or settings) from a relay.
Data registers are always 16-bit (two-byte) values transmitted with high order byte first. The maximum number of registers
that can be read in a single packet is 125. See the Modbus memory map table for exact details on the data registers.
Since some PLC implementations of Modbus only support one of function codes 03h and 04h. The B30 interpretation
allows either function code to be used for reading one or more consecutive data registers. The data starting address will
determine the type of data being read. Function codes 03h and 04h are therefore identical.
The following table shows the format of the master and slave packets. The example shows a master device requesting
three register values starting at address 4050h from slave device 11h (17 decimal); the slave device responds with the values 40, 300, and 0 from registers 4050h, 4051h, and 4052h, respectively.

B.2.6 EXCEPTION RESPONSES

Programming or operation errors usually happen because of illegal data in a packet. These errors result in an exception
response from the slave. The slave detecting one of these errors sends a response packet to the master with the high order
bit of the function code set to 1.

B.3 FILE TRANSFERS
APPENDIX B
B.3FILE TRANSFERS
B.3.1 OBTAINING RELAY FILES VIA MODBUS
a) DESCRIPTION
The UR relay has a generic file transfer facility, meaning that you use the same method to obtain all of the different types of
files from the unit. The Modbus registers that implement file transfer are found in the "Modbus File Transfer (Read/Write)"
and "Modbus File Transfer (Read Only)" modules, starting at address 3100 in the Modbus Memory Map. To read a file from
the UR relay, use the following steps:
1.
Write the filename to the "Name of file to read" register using a write multiple registers command. If the name is shorter
than 80 characters, you may write only enough registers to include all the text of the filename. Filenames are not case
sensitive.
2.
Repeatedly read all the registers in "Modbus File Transfer (Read Only)" using a read multiple registers command. It is
not necessary to read the entire data block, since the UR relay will remember which was the last register you read. The
"position" register is initially zero and thereafter indicates how many bytes (2 times the number of registers) you have
read so far. The "size of..." register indicates the number of bytes of data remaining to read, to a maximum of 244.
3.
Keep reading until the "size of..." register is smaller than the number of bytes you are transferring. This condition indicates end of file. Discard any bytes you have read beyond the indicated block size.
4.
If you need to re-try a block, read only the "size of.." and "block of data", without reading the position. The file pointer is
only incremented when you read the position register, so the same data block will be returned as was read in the previous operation. On the next read, check to see if the position is where you expect it to be, and discard the previous
block if it is not (this condition would indicate that the UR relay did not process your original read request).
The UR relay retains connection-specific file transfer information, so files may be read simultaneously on multiple Modbus
connections.
b) OTHER PROTOCOLS
All the files available via Modbus may also be retrieved using the standard file transfer mechanisms in other protocols (for
example, TFTP or MMS).
c) COMTRADE, OSCILLOGRAPHY, AND DATA LOGGER FILES
Oscillography and data logger files are formatted using the COMTRADE file format per IEEE C37.111-1999 Standard Common Format for Transient Data Exchange (COMTRADE) for Power Systems. The files can be obtained in either text or
binary COMTRADE format.
d) READING OSCILLOGRAPHY FILES
Familiarity with the oscillography feature is required to understand the following description. Refer to the Oscillography section in Chapter 5 for additional details.
The Oscillography Number of Triggers register is incremented by one every time a new oscillography file is triggered (captured) and cleared to zero when oscillography data is cleared. When a new trigger occurs, the associated oscillography file
is assigned a file identifier number equal to the incremented value of this register; the newest file number is equal to the
Oscillography_Number_of_Triggers register. This register can be used to determine if any new data has been captured by
periodically reading it to see if the value has changed; if the number has increased then new data is available.
The Oscillography Number of Records register specifies the maximum number of files (and the number of cycles of data
per file) that can be stored in memory of the relay. The Oscillography Available Records register specifies the actual number of files that are stored and still available to be read out of the relay.
Writing Yes (i.e. the value 1) to the Oscillography Clear Data register clears oscillography data files, clears both the Oscillography Number of Triggers and Oscillography Available Records registers to zero, and sets the Oscillography Last
Cleared Date to the present date and time.
To read binary COMTRADE oscillography files, read the following filenames:
OSCnnnn.CFG and OSCnnn.DAT
Replace nnn with the desired oscillography trigger number. For ASCII format, use the following file names
OSCAnnnn.CFG and OSCAnnn.DAT
B-6
GE Multilin
APPENDIX B
B.3 FILE TRANSFERS
e) READING EVENT RECORDER FILES

To read the entire event recorder contents in ASCII format (the only available format), use the following filename:
EVT.TXT
To read from a specific record to the end of the log, use the following filename:
EVTnnn.TXT (replace nnn with the desired starting record number)
To read from a specific record to another specific record, use the following filename:
EVT.TXT xxxxx yyyyy (replace xxxxx with the starting record number and yyyyy with the ending record number)
B.3.2 MODBUS PASSWORD OPERATION
and the faceplate RS232 connection. Remote access is defined as any access to settings or commands via any rear communications port. This includes both Ethernet and RS485 connections. Any changes to the local or remote passwords
When entering a settings or command password via EnerVista or any serial interface, the user must enter the corresponding connection password. If the connection is to the back of the B30, the remote password must be used. If the connection
is to the RS232 port of the faceplate, the local password must be used.
The command password is set up at memory location 4000. Storing a value of 0 removes command password protection.
When reading the password setting, the encrypted value (zero if no password is set) is returned. Command security is
required to change the command password. Similarly, the setting password is set up at memory location 4002. These are
the same settings and encrypted values found in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP PASSWORD SECURITY menu via the
keypad. Enabling password security for the faceplate display will also enable it for Modbus, and vice-versa.
To gain command level security access, the command password must be entered at memory location 4008. To gain setting
level security access, the setting password must be entered at memory location 400A. The entered setting password must
match the current setting password setting, or must be zero, to change settings or download firmware.
Command and setting passwords each have a 30 minute timer. Each timer starts when you enter the particular password,
and is re-started whenever you use it. For example, writing a setting re-starts the setting password timer and writing a command register or forcing a coil re-starts the command password timer. The value read at memory location 4010 can be used
to confirm whether a command password is enabled or disabled (a value of 0 represents disabled). The value read at memory location 4011 can be used to confirm whether a setting password is enabled or disabled.
Command or setting password security access is restricted to the particular port or particular TCP/IP connection on which
the entry was made. Passwords must be entered when accessing the relay through other ports or connections, and the
passwords must be re-entered after disconnecting and re-connecting on TCP/IP.

A FlexCurve is an array of 120 consecutive data points (x, y) which

are interpolated to generate a smooth curve. The y-axis is the user
defined trip or operation time setting; the x-axis is the pickup ratio
and is pre-defined. Refer to format F119 for a listing of the pickup
ratios; the enumeration value for the pickup ratio indicates the offset into the FlexCurve base address where the corresponding time
value is stored.

The FlexLogic BASE type is 6 bits and is combined with a 9 bit

descriptor and 1 bit for protection element to form a 16 bit value.
The combined bits are of the form: PTTTTTTDDDDDDDDD,
where P bit if set, indicates that the FlexLogic type is associated
with a protection element state and T represents bits for the BASE
type, and D represents bits for the descriptor.
The values in square brackets indicate the base type with P prefix
[PTTTTTT] and the values in round brackets indicate the descriptor range.

First register indicates input/output state with bits 0 (MSB) to 15

(LSB) corresponding to input/output state 1 to 16. The second register indicates input/output state with bits 0 to 15 corresponding to
input/output state 17 to 32 (if required) The third register indicates
input/output state with bits 0 to 15 corresponding to input/output
state 33 to 48 (if required). The fourth register indicates input/output state with bits 0 to 15 corresponding to input/output state 49 to
64 (if required).
The number of registers required is determined by the specific
data item. A bit value of 0 = Off and 1 = On.
F501
UR_UINT16: LED STATUS
Low byte of register indicates LED status with bit 0 representing
the top LED and bit 7 the bottom LED. A bit value of 1 indicates
the LED is on, 0 indicates the LED is off.
F502
BITFIELD: ELEMENT OPERATE STATES
Each bit contains the operate state for an element. See the F124
format code for a list of element IDs. The operate bit for element ID
X is bit [X mod 16] in register [X/16].

These documents can be obtained from the IEC (http://www.iec.ch). It is strongly recommended that all those involved with
any IEC 61850 implementation obtain this document set.
C.1.2 COMMUNICATION PROFILES
IEC 61850 specifies the use of the Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) at the upper (application) layer for transfer
of real-time data. This protocol has been in existence for several of years and provides a set of services suitable for the
transfer of data within a substation LAN environment. Actual MMS protocol services are mapped to IEC 61850 abstract services in IEC 61850-8-1.
The B30 relay supports IEC 61850 server services over both TCP/IP and TP4/CLNP (OSI) communication protocol stacks.
The TP4/CLNP profile requires the B30 to have a network address or Network Service Access Point (NSAP) to establish a
communication link. The TCP/IP profile requires the B30 to have an IP address to establish communications. These
addresses are located in the SETTINGS PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK menu. Note that the B30
supports IEC 61850 over the TP4/CLNP or TCP/IP stacks, and also operation over both stacks simultaneously. It is possible to have up to five simultaneous connections (in addition to DNP and Modbus/TCP (non-IEC 61850) connections).
Client/server: This is a connection-oriented type of communication. The connection is initiated by the client, and communication activity is controlled by the client. IEC 61850 clients are often substation computers running HMI programs
or SOE logging software. Servers are usually substation equipment such as protection relays, meters, RTUs, transformer tap changers, or bay controllers.
Peer-to-peer: This is a non-connection-oriented, high speed type of communication usually between substation equipment such as protection relays. GSSE and GOOSE are methods of peer-to-peer communication.
Substation configuration language (SCL): A substation configuration language is a number of files used to describe
the configuration of substation equipment. Each configured device has an IEC Capability Description (ICD) file. The
substation single line information is stored in a System Specification Description (SSD) file. The entire substation configuration is stored in a Substation Configuration Description (SCD) file. The SCD file is the combination of the individual ICD files and the SSD file.

C.2SERVER DATA ORGANIZATION
C.2.1 OVERVIEW
IEC 61850 defines an object-oriented approach to data and services. An IEC 61850 physical device can contain one or
more logical device(s). Each logical device can contain many logical nodes. Each logical node can contain many data
objects. Each data object is composed of data attributes and data attribute components. Services are available at each
level for performing various functions, such as reading, writing, control commands, and reporting.
Each B30 IED represents one IEC 61850 physical device. The physical device contains one logical device, and the logical
device contains many logical nodes. The logical node LPHD1 contains information about the B30 IED physical device. The
logical node LLN0 contains information about the B30 IED logical device.
C.2.2 GGIO1: DIGITAL STATUS VALUES
The GGIO1 logical node is available in the B30 to provide access to as many 128 digital status points and associated timestamps and quality flags. The data content must be configured before the data can be used. GGIO1 provides digital status
points for access by clients.
It is intended that clients use GGIO1 in order to access digital status values from the B30. Configuration settings are provided to allow the selection of the number of digital status indications available in GGIO1 (8 to 128), and to allow the choice
of the B30 FlexLogic operands that drive the status of the GGIO1 status indications. Clients can utilize the IEC 61850 buffered and unbuffered reporting features available from GGIO1 in order to build sequence of events (SOE) logs and HMI display screens. Buffered reporting should generally be used for SOE logs since the buffering capability reduces the chances
of missing data state changes. Unbuffered reporting should generally be used for local status display.
C.2.3 GGIO2: DIGITAL CONTROL VALUES
The GGIO2 logical node is available to provide access to the B30 virtual inputs. Virtual inputs are single-point control
(binary) values that can be written by clients. They are generally used as control inputs. GGIO2 provides access to the virtual inputs through the IEC 61850 standard control model (ctlModel) services:
Status only.
Direct control with normal security.
SBO control with normal security.
Configuration settings are available to select the control model for each point. Each virtual input used through GGIO2
should have its VIRTUAL INPUT 1(64) FUNCTION setting programmed as Enabled and its corresponding GGIO2 CF SPSCO1(64)
CTLMODEL setting programmed to the appropriate control configuration.
C.2.4 GGIO3: DIGITAL STATUS AND ANALOG VALUES FROM RECEIVED GOOSE DATA
The GGIO3 logical node is available to provide access for clients to values received via configurable GOOSE messages.
The values of the digital status indications and analog values in GGIO3 originate in GOOSE messages sent from other
devices.
C.2.5 GGIO4: GENERIC ANALOG MEASURED VALUES
The GGIO4 logical node provides access to as many as 32 analog value points, as well as associated timestamps and
quality flags. The data content must be configured before the data can be used. GGIO4 provides analog values for access
by clients.
It is intended that clients use GGIO4 to access generic analog values from the B30. Configuration settings allow the selection of the number of analog values available in GGIO4 (4 to 32) and the choice of the FlexAnalog values that determine
the value of the GGIO4 analog inputs. Clients can utilize polling or the IEC 61850 unbuffered reporting feature available
from GGIO4 in order to obtain the analog values provided by GGIO4.
C-2
GE Multilin
APPENDIX C

C.2.6 MMXU: ANALOG MEASURED VALUES
A limited number of measured analog values are available through the MMXU logical nodes.
Each MMXU logical node provides data from a B30 current and voltage source. There is one MMXU available for each configurable source (programmed in the SETTINGS SYSTEM SETUP SIGNAL SOURCES menu). MMXU1 provides data
from B30 source 1, and MMXU2 provides data from B30 source 2.
MMXU data is provided in two forms: instantaneous and deadband. The instantaneous values are updated every time a
read operation is performed by a client. The deadband values are calculated as described in IEC 61850 parts 7-1 and 7-3.
The selection of appropriate deadband settings for the B30 is described in chapter 5 of this manual.
IEC 61850 buffered and unbuffered reporting capability is available in all MMXU logical nodes. MMXUx logical nodes provide the following data for each source:
MMXU1.MX.TotW: three-phase real power
MMXU1.MX.TotVAr: three-phase reactive power
MMXU1.MX.TotVA: three-phase apparent power
MMXU1.MX.TotPF: three-phase power factor
MMXU1.MX.Hz: frequency
MMXU1.MX.PPV.phsAB: phase AB voltage magnitude and angle
MMXU1.MX.PPV.phsBC: phase BC voltage magnitude and angle

MMXU1.MX.PF.phsC: phase C power factor

C.2.7 PROTECTION AND OTHER LOGICAL NODES
The following list describes the protection elements for all UR-series relays. The B30 relay will contain a subset of protection elements from this list.

CSWI: switch controller
The protection elements listed above contain start (pickup) and operate flags. For example, the start flag for PIOC1 is
PIOC1.ST.Str.general. The operate flag for PIOC1 is PIOC1.ST.Op.general. For the B30 protection elements, these flags
take their values from the pickup and operate FlexLogic operands for the corresponding element.
Some protection elements listed above contain directional start values. For example, the directional start value for PDIS1 is
PDIS1.ST.Str.dirGeneral. This value is built from the directional FlexLogic operands for the element.
The RFLO logical node contains the measurement of the distance to fault calculation in kilometers. This value originates in
the fault locator function.
The XCBR logical node is directly associated with the breaker control feature.
XCBR1.ST.Loc: This is the state of the XCBR1 local/remote switch. A setting is provided to assign a FlexLogic operand
to determine the state. When local mode is true, IEC 61850 client commands will be rejected.
XCBR1.ST.Opcnt: This is an operation counter as defined in IEC 61850. Command settings are provided to allow the
counter to be cleared.
XCBR1.ST.Pos: This is the position of the breaker. The breaker control FlexLogic operands are used to determine this
state.
Intermediate state (00) is indicated when the BREAKER 1 OPEN and BREAKER 1 CLOSED operands are both On.
Off state (01) is indicated when the BREAKER 1 OPEN operand is On.
On state (10) is indicated when the BREAKER 1 CLOSED operand is On.
Bad state (11) is indicated when the BREAKER 1 OPEN and BREAKER 1 CLOSED operands are Off.
XCBR1.ST.BlkOpn: This is the state of the block open command logic. When true, breaker open commands from IEC
61850 clients will be rejected.
XCBR1.ST.BlkCls: This is the state of the block close command logic. When true, breaker close commands from IEC
61850 clients will be rejected.
XCBR1.CO.Pos: This is where IEC 61850 clients can issue open or close commands to the breaker. SBO control with
normal security is the only supported IEC 61850 control model.
XCBR1.CO.BlkOpn: This is where IEC 61850 clients can issue block open commands to the breaker. Direct control
with normal security is the only supported IEC 61850 control model.
XCBR1.CO.BlkCls: This is where IEC 61850 clients can issue block close commands to the breaker. Direct control
with normal security is the only supported IEC 61850 control model.

APPENDIX C
C.3SERVER FEATURES AND CONFIGURATION
C.3.1 BUFFERED/UNBUFFERED REPORTING
IEC 61850 buffered and unbuffered reporting is provided in the GGIO1 logical nodes (for binary status values) and MMXU1
to MMXU6 (for analog measured values). Report settings can be configured using the EnerVista UR Setup software, substation configurator software, or via an IEC 61850 client. The following items can be configured:
TrgOps: Trigger options. The following bits are supported by the B30:
Bit 1: data-change
Bit 4: integrity
Bit 5: general interrogation
OptFlds: Option Fields. The following bits are supported by the B30:
Bit 1: sequence-number
Bit 2: report-time-stamp
Bit 3: reason-for-inclusion
Bit 4: data-set-name
Bit 5: data-reference
Bit 6: buffer-overflow (for buffered reports only)
Bit 7: entryID (for buffered reports only)
Bit 8: conf-revision
Bit 9: segmentation
IntgPd: Integrity period.
BufTm: Buffer time.

C.3.2 FILE TRANSFER
MMS file services are supported to allow transfer of oscillography, event record, or other files from a B30 relay.
C.3.3 TIMESTAMPS AND SCANNING
The timestamp values associated with all IEC 61850 data items represent the time of the last change of either the value or
quality flags of the data item. To accomplish this functionality, all IEC 61850 data items must be regularly scanned for data
changes, and the timestamp updated when a change is detected, regardless of the connection status of any IEC 61850 clients. For applications where there is no IEC 61850 client in use, the IEC 61850 SERVER SCANNING setting can be programmed as Disabled. If a client is in use, this setting should be programmed as Enabled to ensure the proper
generation of IEC 61850 timestamps.
C.3.4 LOGICAL DEVICE NAME
The logical device name is used to identify the IEC 61850 logical device that exists within the B30. This name is composed
of two parts: the IED name setting and the logical device instance. The complete logical device name is the combination of
the two character strings programmed in the IEDNAME and LD INST settings. The default values for these strings are IEDName and LDInst. These values should be changed to reflect a logical naming convention for all IEC 61850 logical
devices in the system.
C.3.5 LOCATION
The LPHD1 logical node contains a data attribute called location (LPHD1.DC.PhyNam.location). This is a character string
meant to describe the physical location of the B30. This attribute is programmed through the LOCATION setting and its
default value is Location. This value should be changed to describe the actual physical location of the B30.
GE Multilin
C-5
APPENDIX C
C.3.6 LOGICAL NODE NAME PREFIXES
IEC 61850 specifies that each logical node can have a name with a total length of 11 characters. The name is composed of:
A five or six-character name prefix.
A four-character standard name (for example, MMXU, GGIO, PIOC, etc.).
A one or two-character instantiation index.
Complete names are of the form xxxxxxPIOC1, where the xxxxxx character string is configurable. Details regarding the
logical node naming rules are given in IEC 61850 parts 6 and 7-2. It is recommended that a consistent naming convention
be used for an entire substation project.
C.3.7 CONNECTION TIMING

A built-in TCP/IP connection timeout of two minutes is employed by the B30 to detect dead connections. If there is no data
traffic on a TCP connection for greater than two minutes, the connection will be aborted by the B30. This frees up the connection to be used by other clients. Therefore, when using IEC 61850 reporting, clients should configure report control
block items such that an integrity report will be issued at least every 2 minutes (120000 ms). This ensures that the B30 will
not abort the connection. If other MMS data is being polled on the same connection at least once every 2 minutes, this timeout will not apply.
C.3.8 NON-IEC 61850 DATA
The B30 relay makes available a number of non-IEC 61850 data items. These data items can be accessed through the
UR MMS domain. IEC 61850 data can be accessed through the standard IEC 61850 logical device. To access the nonIEC data items, the INCLUDE NON-IEC DATA setting must be Enabled.
C.3.9 COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE UTILITIES
The exact structure and values of the supported IEC 61850 logical nodes can be seen by connecting to a B30 relay with an
MMS browser, such as the MMS Object Explorer and AXS4-MMS DDE/OPC server from Sisco Inc.

APPENDIX C
C.4GENERIC SUBSTATION EVENT SERVICES: GSSE AND GOOSE
C.4.1 OVERVIEW
IEC 61850 specifies two types of peer-to-peer data transfer services: Generic Substation State Events (GSSE) and Generic
Object Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE). GSSE services are compatible with UCA 2.0 GOOSE. IEC 61850 GOOSE
services provide virtual LAN (VLAN) support, Ethernet priority tagging, and Ethertype Application ID configuration. The support for VLANs and priority tagging allows for the optimization of Ethernet network traffic. GOOSE messages can be given
a higher priority than standard Ethernet traffic, and they can be separated onto specific VLANs. Because of the additional
features of GOOSE services versus GSSE services, it is recommended that GOOSE be used wherever backwards compatibility with GSSE (or UCA 2.0 GOOSE) is not required.
Devices that transmit GSSE and/or GOOSE messages also function as servers. Each GSSE publisher contains a GSSE
control block to configure and control the transmission. Each GOOSE publisher contains a GOOSE control block to configure and control the transmission. The transmission is also controlled via device settings. These settings can be seen in
the ICD and/or SCD files, or in the device configuration software or files.
IEC 61850 recommends a default priority value of 4 for GOOSE. Ethernet traffic that does not contain a priority tag has a
default priority of 1. More details are specified in IEC 61850 part 8-1.
IEC 61850 recommends that the Ethertype Application ID number be configured according to the GOOSE source. In the
B30, the transmitted GOOSE Application ID number must match the configured receive Application ID number in the
receiver. A common number may be used for all GOOSE transmitters in a system. More details are specified in IEC 61850
part 8-1.
C.4.2 GSSE CONFIGURATION
IEC 61850 Generic Substation Status Event (GSSE) communication is compatible with UCA GOOSE communication.
GSSE messages contain a number of double point status data items. These items are transmitted in two pre-defined data
structures named DNA and UserSt. Each DNA and UserSt item is referred to as a bit pair. GSSE messages are transmitted in response to state changes in any of the data points contained in the message. GSSE messages always contain the
same number of DNA and UserSt bit pairs. Depending the on the configuration, only some of these bit pairs may have values that are of interest to receiving devices.
The GSSE FUNCTION, GSSE ID, and GSSE DESTINATION MAC ADDRESS settings are used to configure GSSE transmission.
GSSE FUNCTION is set to Enabled to enable the transmission. If a valid multicast Ethernet MAC address is entered for the
GSSE DESTINATION MAC ADDRESS setting, this address will be used as the destination MAC address for GSSE messages. If
a valid multicast Ethernet MAC address is not entered (for example, 00 00 00 00 00 00), the B30 will use the source Ethernet MAC address as the destination, with the multicast bit set.
C.4.3 FIXED GOOSE
The B30 supports two types of IEC 61850 Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) communication: fixed
GOOSE and configurable GOOSE. All GOOSE messages contain IEC 61850 data collected into a dataset. It is this dataset
that is transferred using GOOSE message services. The dataset transferred using the B30 fixed GOOSE is the same data
that is transferred using the GSSE feature; that is, the DNA and UserSt bit pairs. The FlexLogic operands that determine
the state of the DNA and UserSt bit pairs are configurable via settings, but the fixed GOOSE dataset always contains the
same DNA/UserSt data structure. Upgrading from GSSE to GOOSE services is simply a matter of enabling fixed GOOSE
and disabling GSSE. The remote inputs and outputs are configured in the same manner for both GSSE and fixed GOOSE.
It is recommended that the fixed GOOSE be used for implementations that require GOOSE data transfer between URseries IEDs. Configurable GOOSE may be used for implementations that require GOOSE data transfer between UR-series
IEDs and devices from other manufacturers.
C.4.4 CONFIGURABLE GOOSE
The configurable GOOSE feature allows for the configuration of the datasets to be transmitted or received from the B30.
The B30 supports the configuration of eight (8) transmission and reception datasets, allowing for the optimization of data
transfer between devices.
GE Multilin
C-7
APPENDIX C
Items programmed for dataset 1 and 2 will have changes in their status transmitted as soon as the change is detected.
Dataset 1 should be used for high-speed transmission of data that is required for applications such as transfer tripping,
blocking, and breaker fail initiate. At least one digital status value needs to be configured in dataset 1 to enable transmission of all data configured for dataset 1. Configuring analog data only to dataset 1 will not activate transmission.
Items programmed for datasets 3 through 8 will have changes in their status transmitted at a maximum rate of every
100 ms. Datasets 3 through 8 will regularly analyze each data item configured within them every 100 ms to identify if any
changes have been made. If any changes in the data items are detected, these changes will be transmitted through a
GOOSE message. If there are no changes detected during this 100 ms period, no GOOSE message will be sent.
For all datasets 1 through 8, the integrity GOOSE message will still continue to be sent at the pre-configured rate even if no
changes in the data items are detected.
The GOOSE functionality was enhanced to prevent the relay from flooding a communications network with GOOSE messages due to an oscillation being created that is triggering a message.
The B30 has the ability of detecting if a data item in one of the GOOSE datasets is erroneously oscillating. This can be
caused by events such as errors in logic programming, inputs improperly being asserted and de-asserted, or failed station
components. If erroneously oscillation is detected, the B30 will stop sending GOOSE messages from the dataset for a minimum period of one second. Should the oscillation persist after the one second time-out period, the B30 will continue to
block transmission of the dataset. The B30 will assert the MAINTENANCE ALERT: GGIO Ind XXX oscill self-test error message on the front panel display, where XXX denotes the data item detected as oscillating.
The configurable GOOSE feature is recommended for applications that require GOOSE data transfer between UR-series
IEDs and devices from other manufacturers. Fixed GOOSE is recommended for applications that require GOOSE data
transfer between UR-series IEDs.
IEC 61850 GOOSE messaging contains a number of configurable parameters, all of which must be correct to achieve the
successful transfer of data. It is critical that the configured datasets at the transmission and reception devices are an exact
match in terms of data structure, and that the GOOSE addresses and name strings match exactly. Manual configuration is
possible, but third-party substation configuration software may be used to automate the process. The EnerVista UR Setupsoftware can produce IEC 61850 ICD files and import IEC 61850 SCD files produced by a substation configurator (refer
to the IEC 61850 IED configuration section later in this appendix).
Use independent ports for IEC 61850 communication and take care when configuring the settings,
else loss of protection or misoperation of the relay can result.
The following example illustrates the configuration required to transfer IEC 61850 data items between two devices. The
general steps required for transmission configuration are:
1.
Configure the transmission dataset.
2.
3.
Configure the data.
The general steps required for reception configuration are:

1.
Configure the reception dataset.
2.
3.
Configure the data.
This example shows how to configure the transmission and reception of three IEC 61850 data items: a single point status
value, its associated quality flags, and a floating point analog value.
The following procedure illustrates the transmission configuration.

Set the CONFIG GSE 1 VLAN PRIORITY; the default value of 4 is OK for this example.
Set the CONFIG GSE 1 VLAN ID value; the default value is 0, but some switches may require this value to be 1.
Set the CONFIG GSE 1 ETYPE APPID value. This setting represents the Ethertype application ID and must match the
configuration on the receiver (the default value is 0).
Set the CONFIG GSE 1 CONFREV value. This value changes automatically as described in IEC 61850 part 7-2. For
this example it can be left at its default value.
Configure the data by making the following changes in the PRODUCT SETUP COMMUNICATION IEC 61850 PROTOsettings menu:
COL GGIO1 STATUS CONFIGURATION
Set GGIO1 INDICATION 1 to a FlexLogic operand used to provide the status of GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal (for example, a

Configure the data by making the following changes in the INPUTS/OUTPUTS REMOTE INPUTS REMOTE INPUT 1
settings menu:
Set REMOTE IN 1 DEVICE to GOOSEOut_1.
Set REMOTE IN 1 ITEM to Dataset Item 2. This assigns the value of the GGIO3.ST.Ind1.stVal single point status
item to remote input 1.
Remote input 1 can now be used in FlexLogic equations or other settings. The B30 must be rebooted (control power
removed and re-applied) before these settings take effect.
The value of remote input 1 (Boolean on or off) in the receiving device will be determined by the GGIO1.ST.Ind1.stVal value
in the sending device. The above settings will be automatically populated by the EnerVista UR Setup software when a complete SCD file is created by third party substation configurator software.

APPENDIX C
C.4.5 ETHERNET MAC ADDRESS FOR GSSE/GOOSE

Ethernet capable devices each contain a unique identifying address called a Media Access Control (MAC) address. This
address cannot be changed and is unique for each Ethernet device produced worldwide. The address is six bytes in length
and is usually represented as six hexadecimal values (for example, 00 A0 F4 01 02 03). It is used in all Ethernet frames as
the source address of the frame. Each Ethernet frame also contains a destination address. The destination address can
be different for each Ethernet frame depending on the intended destination of the frame.
A special type of destination address called a multicast address is used when the Ethernet frame can be received by more
than one device. An Ethernet MAC address is multicast when the least significant bit of the first byte is set (for example, 01
00 00 00 00 00 is a multicast address).
GSSE and GOOSE messages must have multicast destination MAC addresses.
By default, the B30 is configured to use an automated multicast MAC scheme. If the B30 destination MAC address setting
is not a valid multicast address (that is, the least significant bit of the first byte is not set), the address used as the destination MAC will be the same as the local MAC address, but with the multicast bit set. Thus, if the local MAC address is 00 A0
F4 01 02 03, then the destination MAC address will be 01 A0 F4 01 02 03.
C.4.6 GSSE ID AND GOOSE ID SETTINGS
GSSE messages contain an identifier string used by receiving devices to identify the sender of the message, defined in IEC
61850 part 8-1 as GsID. This is a programmable 65-character string. This string should be chosen to provide a descriptive
name of the originator of the GSSE message.
GOOSE messages contain an identifier string used by receiving devices to identify the sender of the message, defined in
IEC 61850 part 8-1 as GoID. This programmable 65-character string should be a descriptive name of the originator of the
GOOSE message. GOOSE messages also contain two additional character strings used for identification of the message:
DatSet - the name of the associated dataset, and GoCBRef - the reference (name) of the associated GOOSE control block.
These strings are automatically populated and interpreted by the B30; no settings are required.

C.5IEC 61850 IMPLEMENTATION VIA ENERVISTA UR SETUP
C.5.1 OVERVIEW
The B30 can be configured for IEC 61850 via the EnerVista UR Setup software as follows.
1.
An ICD file is generated for the B30 by the EnerVista UR Setup software that describe the capabilities of the IED.
2.
The ICD file is then imported into a system configurator along with other ICD files for other IEDs (from GE or other vendors) for system configuration.
3.
The result is saved to a SCD file, which is then imported back to EnerVista UR Setup to create one or more settings
file(s). The settings file(s) can then be used to update the relay(s) with the new configuration information.
The configuration process is illustrated below.

The following IEC related tools are referenced in the procedures that describe the IED configuration process for IEC 61850:
System configurator or Substation configurator: This is an IED independent system level tool that can import or
export configuration files defined by IEC 61850-6. It can import configuration files (ICD) from several IEDs for system
level engineering and is used to add system information shared by different IEDs. The system configuration generates
a substation related configuration file (SCD) which is fed back to the IED configurator (for example, EnerVista UR
Setup) for system related IED configuration. The system configurator should also be able to read a system specification file (SSD) to use as base for starting system engineering, or to compare it with an engineered system for the same
substation.
IED configurator: This is a vendor specific tool that can directly or indirectly generate an ICD file from the IED (for
example, from a settings file). It can also import a system SCL file (SCD) to set communication configuration parameters (that is, required addresses, reception GOOSE datasets, IDs of incoming GOOSE datasets, etc.) for the IED. The
IED configurator functionality is implemented in the GE Multilin EnerVista UR Setup software.
C.5.2 CONFIGURING IEC 61850 SETTINGS
Before creating an ICD file, the user can customize the IEC 61850 related settings for the IED. For example, the IED name
and logical device instance can be specified to uniquely identify the IED within the substation, or transmission GOOSE
datasets created so that the system configurator can configure the cross-communication links to send GOOSE messages
from the IED. Once the IEC 61850 settings are configured, the ICD creation process will recognize the changes and generate an ICD file that contains the updated settings.
Some of the IED settings will be modified during they system configuration process. For example, a new IP address may be
assigned, line items in a Transmission GOOSE dataset may be added or deleted, or prefixes of some logical nodes may be
changed. While all new configurations will be mapped to the B30 settings file when importing an SCD file, all unchanged
settings will preserve the same values in the new settings file.
These settings can be configured either directly through the relay panel or through the EnerVista UR Setup software (preferred method). The full list of IEC 61850 related settings for are as follows:
Network configuration: IP address, IP subnet mask, and default gateway IP address (access through the Settings >
Product Setup > Communications > Network menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).
Server configuration: IED name and logical device instance (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > Server Configuration menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).
Logical node prefixes, which includes prefixes for all logical nodes except LLN0 (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > Logical Node Prefixes menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).
C-12
GE Multilin
APPENDIX C
MMXU deadbands, which includes deadbands for all available MMXUs. The number of MMXUs is related to the number of CT/VT modules in the relay. There are two MMXUs for each CT/VT module. For example, if a relay contains two
CT/VT modules, there will be four MMXUs available (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > MMXU Deadbands menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).
GGIO1 status configuration, which includes the number of status points in GGIO1 as well as the potential internal mappings for each GGIO1 indication. However only the number of status points will be used in the ICD creation process
(access through the Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > GGIO1 Status Configuration
menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).
GGIO2 control configuration, which includes ctlModels for all SPCSOs within GGIO2 (access through the Settings >
Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > GGIO2 Control Configuration menu tree in EnerVista UR
Setup).
Configurable transmission GOOSE, which includes eight configurable datasets that can be used for GOOSE transmission. The GOOSE ID can be specified for each dataset (it must be unique within the IED as well as across the whole
substation), as well as the destination MAC address, VLAN priority, VLAN ID, ETYPE APPID, and the dataset items.
The selection of the dataset item is restricted by firmware version; for version 7.0x, only GGIO1.ST.Indx.stVal and
GGIO1.ST.Indx.q are valid selection (where x is between 1 to N, and N is determined by number of GGIO1 status
points). Although configurable transmission GOOSE can also be created and altered by some third-party system configurators, we recommend configuring transmission GOOSE for GE Multilin IEDs before creating the ICD, and strictly
within EnerVista UR Setup software or the front panel display (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > GSSE/GOOSE Configuration > Transmission > Tx Configurable GOOSE menu tree
in EnerVista UR Setup).
Configurable reception GOOSE, which includes eight configurable datasets that can be used for GOOSE reception.
However, unlike datasets for transmission, datasets for reception only contains dataset items, and they are usually created automatically by process of importing the SCD file (access through the Settings > Product Setup > Communications > IEC 61850 > GSSE/GOOSE Configuration > Reception > Rx Configurable GOOSE menu tree in
EnerVista UR Setup).
Remote devices configuration, which includes remote device ID (GOOSE ID or GoID of the incoming transmission
GOOSE dataset), ETYPE APPID (of the GSE communication block for the incoming transmission GOOSE), and
DATASET (which is the name of the associated reception GOOSE dataset). These settings are usually done automatically by process of importing SCD file (access through the Settings > Inputs/Outputs > Remote Devices menu tree
in EnerVista UR Setup).
Remote inputs configuration, which includes device (remote device ID) and item (which dataset item in the associated
reception GOOSE dataset to map) values. Only the items with cross-communication link created in SCD file should be
mapped. These configurations are usually done automatically by process of importing SCD file (access through the
Settings > Inputs/Outputs > Remote Inputs menu tree in EnerVista UR Setup).
C.5.3 ABOUT ICD FILES
The SCL language is based on XML, and its syntax definition is described as a W3C XML Schema. ICD is one type of SCL
file (which also includes SSD, CID and SCD files). The ICD file describes the capabilities of an IED and consists of four
major sections:
Header
Communication
IEDs
DataTypeTemplates
GE Multilin
C-13
APPENDIX C
The root file structure of an ICD file is illustrated below.

Figure 02: ICD FILE STRUCTURE, SCL (ROOT) NODE
The Header node identifies the ICD file and its version, and specifies options for the mapping of names to signals
The Communication node describes the direct communication connection possibilities between logical nodes by means of
logical buses (sub-networks) and IED access ports. The communication section is structured as follows.

Figure 03: ICD FILE STRUCTURE, COMMUNICATIONS NODE

The SubNetwork node contains all access points which can (logically) communicate with the sub-network protocol and
without the intervening router. The ConnectedAP node describes the IED access point connected to this sub-network. The
Address node contains the address parameters of the access point. The GSE node provides the address element for stating the control block related address parameters, where IdInst is the instance identification of the logical device within the
IED on which the control block is located, and cbName is the name of the control block.
The IED node describes the (pre-)configuration of an IED: its access points, the logical devices, and logical nodes instantiated on it. Furthermore, it defines the capabilities of an IED in terms of communication services offered and, together with
its LNType, instantiated data (DO) and its default or configuration values. There should be only one IED section in an ICD
since it only describes one IED.

The DataTypeTemplates node defines instantiable logical node types. A logical node type is an instantiable template of the
data of a logical node. A LnodeType is referenced each time that this instantiable type is needed with an IED. A logical
node type template is built from DATA (DO) elements, which again have a DO type, which is derived from the DATA classes
(CDC). DOs consist of attributes (DA) or of elements of already defined DO types (SDO). The attribute (DA) has a functional constraint, and can either have a basic type, be an enumeration, or a structure of a DAType. The DAType is built from
BDA elements, defining the structure elements, which again can be BDA elements of have a base type such as DA.

C.5.4 CREATING AN ICD FILE WITH ENERVISTA UR SETUP
An ICD file can be created directly from a connected B30 IED or from an offline B30 settings file with the EnerVista UR
Setup software using the following procedure:
1.
Right-click the connected UR-series relay or settings file and select Create ICD File.
2.
The EnerVista UR Setup will prompt to save the file. Select the file path and enter the name for the ICD file, then click
OK to generate the file.
The time to create an ICD file from the offline B30 settings file is typically much quicker than create an ICD file directly from
the relay.
C.5.5 ABOUT SCD FILES
System configuration is performed in the system configurator. While many vendors (including GE Multilin) are working their
own system configuration tools, there are some system configurators available in the market (for example, Siemens DIGSI
version 4.6 or above and ASE Visual SCL Beta 0.12).
Although the configuration tools vary from one vendor to another, the procedure is pretty much the same. First, a substation
project must be created, either as an empty template or with some system information by importing a system specification
file (SSD). Then, IEDs are added to the substation. Since each IED is represented by its associated ICD, the ICD files are
imported into the substation project, and the system configurator validates the ICD files during the importing process. If the
ICD files are successfully imported into the substation project, it may be necessary to perform some additional minor steps
to attach the IEDs to the substation (see the system configurator manual for details).
Once all IEDs are inserted into the substation, further configuration is possible, such as:
Assigning network addresses to individual IEDs.
Customizing the prefixes of logical nodes.
Creating cross-communication links (configuring GOOSE messages to send from one IED to others).
When system configurations are complete, the results are saved to an SCD file, which contains not only the configuration
for each IED in the substation, but also the system configuration for the entire substation. Finally, the SCD file is passed
back to the IED configurator (vendor specific tool) to update the new configuration into the IED.
The SCD file consists of at least five major sections:
GE Multilin
C-17
Header.
Substation.
Communication.
IED section (one or more).
DataTypeTemplates.

Explanation of Sometimes: Object 12 points are mapped to UR Virtual Inputs. The persistence of Virtual Inputs is
determined by the VIRTUAL INPUT X TYPE settings. Both Pulse On and Latch On operations perform the same function in the UR; that is, the appropriate Virtual Input is put into the On state. If the Virtual Input is set to Self-Reset,
it will reset after one pass of FlexLogic. The On/Off times and Count value are ignored. Pulse Off and Latch Off
operations put the appropriate Virtual Input into the Off state. Trip and Close operations both put the appropriate
Virtual Input into the On state.

A default variation refers to the variation responded when variation 0 is requested and/or in class 0, 1, 2, or 3 scans. The default variations for object types 1, 2, 20, 21, 22, 23, 30, and 32 are selected via relay settings. Refer to the Communications section in Chapter 5
for details. This optimizes the class 0 poll data size.

Note 2:
For static (non-change-event) objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are only responded when a request is sent with qualifiers 17 or 28, respectively. Otherwise, static object requests sent with qualifiers 00, 01, 06, 07, or 08, will be responded with qualifiers 00 or 01 (for changeevent objects, qualifiers 17 or 28 are always responded.)

It is important to note that 16-bit and 32-bit variations of analog inputs are transmitted through DNP as signed numbers.
Even for analog input points that are not valid as negative values, the maximum positive representation is 32767 for 16-bit
values and 2147483647 for 32-bit values. This is a DNP requirement.
The deadbands for all Analog Input points are in the same units as the Analog Input quantity. For example, an Analog Input
quantity measured in volts has a corresponding deadband in units of volts. This is in conformance with DNP Technical Bulletin 9809-001: Analog Input Reporting Deadband. Relay settings are available to set default deadband values according to
data type. Deadbands for individual Analog Input Points can be set using DNP Object 34.
Request Function Codes supported: 1 (read), 2 (write, deadbands only), 22 (assign class)
Static Variation reported when variation 0 requested: 1 (32-Bit Analog Input)
Change Event Variation reported when variation 0 requested: 1 (Analog Change Event without Time)
Change Event Scan Rate: defaults to 500 ms
Default Class for all Points: 2
